I can’t speak for Jethro and the project, but my sense is that he felt the title/filename change feature in V1 had many issues (high support efforts) and it had always been “brittle” (the term Jethro often uses) despite all the support and patches.

Given this, I don’t believe the title/filename change feature will make its way back into V2.

You would probably need to think of your own way to manage the title change – filename change is a yet separate function technically speaking.

I don’t think it’s easy to come up with a generic solution. For example, it would not make sense to me at all. I can have a description for each ID link totally different to the title and each other: e.g.:

1. `#+Title: Meeting 2021-06-11 - Budget`; `:ID:uuid`
2. Link A `[[id:uuid][Budget on the new marketing material]]`
3. Link B `[[id:uuid][Meeting on budget on 11 June 2021]]`

I would not want Emacs to automatically do anything to Link A and Link B.

For the filename, I use the ID as the filename (with the `.org` extension), so I don’t have any issue when title changes.

One thought.  
An interactive function that you run per buffer.  
To change **unconditionally** the description of **every** Org-roam link in the current buffer back to the current title. This would not be a good generic solution but as a custom function, it would be rather straightforward to make.
