It occurs to me that a bottleneck here is how sections are named. Im
thinking that we could use redundant numbered headers just as place links
within the ordered archive:

   == Header with a really long name ==
   === 5 ===
or
   = 5 =
   == Header with a really long name ==

That way things can be pointed to by number, I'm not skilled at template
syntax at all, so Ill leave that to someone else.

To link from talk ordered archive to topical archive:
  {{ta|5|Archive 4}}

It occurs to me that it might make more sense to have the archive name as

May be better to keep the hierarchy of template|archive|section :
   {{ta|Archive 4|5}}
   [[{{TALKSPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/{{{1}}}#{{{2}}}|{{{1}}}]].

and compact the archive, so that archiving is standardized
  {{ta|4|5}}
  [[{{TALKSPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/Archive {{{1}}}#{{{2}}}|{{{1}}}]].
