Persistent cell number

[Katzyon]

Hello!

I'm actively involved in research and am in the process of developing software to manage our experiments. During this development phase, I've been utilizing Jupyter notebooks (ipynb files). Given the extensive nature of my notebook, with numerous cells conducting various tests and measurements, navigation has become quite challenging. Even with descriptive labels on each cell, locating specific ones can be time-consuming.

Would it be possible to implement persistent cell numbering? This would enable users to directly reference specific cells, making it easier to, for instance, pinpoint a particular data transformation.

Furthermore, the inclusion of a direct hyperlink or pointer to individual cells would greatly enhance navigation. By simply clicking on such a link, users could jump directly to the desired cell. Does such a feature exist?

Thanks a lot for any response <3

Hi @Katzyon thank you for opening this issue. This enhancement would be a change to the underlying data model for all Jupyter/IPython applications. This issue might be better opened in the IPython repository. If you could open it there, I will go ahead and close this issue.
