Interesting but it doesn't really work properly.

My TODO looks like:

* TODO add support for %lo and %hi operands in offsets

I create the link and the link has the name of the todo headline.
When I try to follow with C-c C-o, it says 'No match - create a new
heading?'. If I say yes, a new heading is created in my document that
looks like:

* *add support for ^@ and ^@ operands in offsets

I am curious why %hi and %lo would cause any troubles...
