Re: change log file, navigate to the changes

Triggered by this request I did some experiment, added an implicit change-log-mode button and tried to think about what could be done. * What comes first in mind is trying to come up with an implicit button. The file name from the ChangeLog is easy to use but will bring you only to the file. Which could be desirable but is not what is requested. Using the function, variable or whatever string between the parenthesis: " * filename (<interesting string>): ... could also be done. The "search" for the <interesting string> could be sequential or could be an input for a tags-search limited to the filename. It could also consult functions, imenu or maybe even tried as a bookmark in order to find a suitable cross reference. It all seems to get a bit complicated without really solving the requested functionality. * Creating an explicit button in the ChangeLog is not desirable I think!? (Excplicit means that an hyperbole button "<....>" is inserted. The link will be persistent but the ChangeLog will contain hyperbole buttons ...) * What I think really is wanted is that a cross reference is created from the ChangeLog to from where add-change-log-entry was invoked. This should all take place behind the scene so that when clicking on that line in the ChangeLog you will be transfered back to where it all began. From a quick look at bm.el it doesn't seem to implement this but rather create a visible bookmark to which you can jump from the bookmarks associated with that file. Maybe that idea could be taken further and any line in a buffer could be the starting point for a cross reference to a position in another file. Then a modified add-change-log-entry could update that cross reference. However this transfers the problem into how to update the cross reference when the originating file is changed which doesn't seem to be trivial. Ideas!?
