Well, I am afraid that I am totally lost when it comes to "pretty
much already done". The great Professor Kitchin helped me with a
sophisticated function and sent me the "almost finished" code and I
failed at making it run :-(
However, I do tend to think that the ID picker would be of general
interest and I'd like to see it in the global Org-mode featureset
for multiple purposes, not only defining org-depend dependencies.
