Problem

The latex compiler option synctex allows to jump from pdf to the tex file. In org-latex-pdf-process this reference can be added with e.g. --synctex=1. The problem is it will jump to the .tex file not the .org file.

Question

As synctex might be useful for a direct editing (tex to pdf) the question is, if it is still useful to implement synctex in an org export (org to pdf) to jump to tex or leave it as is, i.e. without synctex?

Estimation

Probably not much of use in org, as long as there is no sync to the org file. An approach to implement such a function ox-synctex by Aaron Ecay in 2013 seems:

too fiddly
