1 Use YAS to create the CUSTOM_ID

1.1 What

This article explain how to make internal link with custom_idand easily insert custom_idwith YAS.

1.2 Why

When we write the docs it is always useful to create the internal & external link. For internal link, you can always insert the `[[]]` and insert the text to looking for. Org by default will search the headline, however this will require we enter the headline title(some times it is too long), therefore using a `custom<sub>id</sub>\` is an good way to address this issue.

1.3 How

Custom id is one of the properties, its format looks like

:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: <your custom_id>
:END:

Therefore, in order to write the custom_idby myself, I could use YAS create the shortcuts to write the same text and leave the cursor at `custom<sub>id</sub>\` for me to enter the name of the ID.
