I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment expressed here. Despite the
difficulties I have had resurrecting some LP org documents recently, the
benefits of the continual developments to org + babel are clear.

Very much so. One of my recent fights with org was due to finally
getting back reviewers' comments on a paper I had submitted almost a
year ago. If I had had an automatic link to the correct version of org,
the one that matched my document, it would have made things much
easier. Obviously, I could have done this manually and probably should
have.
However, I think it may be quite difficult to automate what you are
proposing...
