Note on the ideas list: According to my experience, the list can grow
pretty fast, making it difficult to review. Reviews start to take too
much time at some point. I am currently experimenting with spaced
repetition to remind the ideas from time to time.

It is actually pretty easy using org-ql-search. You just need to search
for "<your-heading-id>" string.

The search may be even noninteractive if you use dynamic blocks:

#+BEGIN: org-ql :query "<your-heading-id>" :columns (heading)
| Heading                 |
|-------------------------|
| link to heading         |
| another link toheading  |
#+END:

Though dynamic block currently have a limitation to search in current
file only if you use MELPA version of org-ql (I made it search across
all files in my personal setup).

Best,
