Ah, I see. Well, if you're just looking for a lisp function to jump to a
headline, you could use `org-refile-get-targets' to produce a full table
of all the possible refile targets, and then choose among them. (assoc
"gtd.org/Projects/Work/Bugs" (org-refile-get-targets)) will find the
right heading, then I guess the value of point is in that heading
somewhere -- you can visit the file and goto-point.

But if you're just looking to bind a bunch of keys to "jump to specific
heading" commands, I'd use custom ids. Give all the headings in question
ID properties, and then just use something like this:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b") (lambda () (org-id-open
"f1d05552-1dce-4004-a914-d2b092d8470e")))

Hope that helps,
