I am not excited by the idea of extending id links for heading 
hierarchy. From my point of view it is more natural to add the ID 
property to the heading that should be link target.

Sometimes I do not mind to disambiguate heading search link by 
specifying title of its ancestor. I usually add the CUSTOM_ID property 
or rename heading to be unique.

I am afraid that allowing arbitrary link types to specify path to an 
element is overkill. It is not XPath and not CSS selectors.
