Not possible to provide custom link text for internal links

[edgimar]

When using a CUSTOM_ID property, if a reference like [[#myid][text to display]] is used, then instead of the exported document having text to display appear for the link, only myid appears. Also, when just [[#myid]] is used, the exported link only displays myid and not the name of the headline possessing this id.

If you can use :ref: role, Please try to set this:
(setq org-rst-link-use-ref-role t)

[edgimar]

Aha! I didn't see that -- maybe should be added to README. But I wonder why this isn't the default -- make people do (setq org-rst-link-use-ref-role nil) if they don't want it.

The vanilla docutils doesn't have :ref: role, this role provided by Sphinx. The main target of ox-rst is the vanilla docutils for now. I don't know the future.
