I see, that's a good idea indeed.
There could be a line of packages that enable reliable path retrieval for a range of applications. I'd see this as extensions (ie, other packages) that use the core linkin-org functions to add advice to other packets. I already implemented pdf and music links in this model, and there could be a package "reliable-org-noter" that depends on linkin-org and org-noter.
For org-noter, that may be as simple as few lines of code, but that's suppositions.
Anyway, plan is to first wait for more feedbacks on the state of linkin-org on its own, and then implement those kind of utilities.
Thanks for the remark :)
