I'm currently writing a report in org-mode. I have a couple of sections which have the same names, with the section names appearing both as a subsection of the background section, and as a section in themselves. The following example should show the issue that I'm coming across. In the document below, I want to refer to the two sections with duplicate names in the introduction. To refer to a section the [[Section Name]] syntax is used. A brief description of the usage is found in the org manual.
