Yeah, you'd likely need some other way to refer so a position in the code than the line number. Maybe an anchor (like html) or a path in the syntax tree.
These tools already exist: JavaScript tools like minfiers or CoffeeScript can generate source maps which map code lines from one format to code lines in another format.
