Internal link to a hyperlink heading

Question

In a document, I'd like to create an internal link. That works as expected on regular links. But when the heading is itself a hyperlink, that doesn't work. How ought one accomplish this?

Trying to link to [[Heading1]] and [[???]]

* Heading1 

These are some contents.

* [[http://example.com][Heading2]]

These are some more contents. 

Answer 1

Go to the second heading and do C-c l to store the link (assuming you have set up the key binding as suggested in the manual: if not, just say M-x org-store-link RET).

Then go to the place where you want to insert the link and do C-c C-l (or M-x org-insert-link RET).

Now try your new link: it worked fine for me.

For the record, this is what the working result looks like:

Trying to link to [[Heading1]] and [[*\[\[http://example.com\]\[Heading2\]\]][Heading2]]

* Heading1 

These are some contents.

* [[http://example.com][Heading2]]

These are some more contents.
