I have weekly TODO items that link to something that needs to be updated; for
instance, I write a weekly letter to my daughter where each week the actual
file for the letter will change. Right now I have to manually update that link
in the org file, which is quite cumbersome. If I could just link to a bookmark
then periodic updates of the bookmark would take care of any problem with
updating the todo item. So, I've been tryin to kludge a solution based on the
orgmode manual; while any suggestions would be useful for my budding elisp
skills, in particular I'm not sure how to write the last function
(org-bmkp-get-bookmark-name). Any suggestions?
