To the edit, you mean like, I don't know, referring to a unique date, key, and/or title? Yeah, that's simply impossible to do or manage in plaintext. Impossible.

I would direct you to Melvil Dewey, but I don't think you'd get the reference.

I’m not sure why you’ve got such a chip on your shoulder for terrible ideas such as this, or why you feel it’s appropriate to post comments with that tone. It makes you sound less intelligent than you clearly think you are.

Linking directly to a resource is a good thing. Nobody is saying it’s impossible to emulate linking with a single text file, I’m saying its a bad idea and a very, very poor user experience for regularly updated linear content like a blog.

Go ahead, publish your blog as as a giant text file. Or go ahead and print it on one giant continuous bit of paper and throw it out your window, if your aim is to disseminate your writing to an audience both are equally as effective.
