Org

In emacs, I can auto-fill the [[file:...]] style link from a set of known files. The problem is when linking to org-mode files, it looks something like [[file:foo.org]] but this doesn't work with blot's internal linking system. So I have to remove the .org to something like [[file:foo]] which does work with blot. The problem now is that org-follow-link does not resolve without the missing extension.

How would I use an image in an org-mode file. Traditionally, I'd do something like [[file:clock.png][clock]] but it seems like that's not working.

Typically when linking to another file in org-mode you would use this syntax: file:path/to/file.org However this doesn't work in blot. I'd love if this syntax would be implemented as C-c C-l defaults to this behavior. If this isn't possible with blot, what is the preferred syntax?

I'm having trouble moving from markdown to org-mode (my favorite markup). In markdown # converts to an h1, ## converts to h2, ### converts to h3 and so on. In org-mode * converts to h1, ** converts to h2, however *** converts to an ordered list. I would prefer for there to be parity between markdown and org-mode so that all heading levels regardless of format would convert to their respective HTML heading tags.
