hmm.  seems links are not, or at least not yet, a complete syntactic solution.

i do but i don't want to clutter org with properties drawers.  i
already have a lot of ids and when org needs to search them it can

basically i use non-id links for ephemeral tasks or to point to
ephemeral tasks.  i know i won't change the headers, but i want the
links there.

nah, making capture not follow is sufficient.  i don't know the
optimal solution.
