* Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a file called test.org:
#+TITLE: test.org
2. Create a file called test2.org:
#+TITLE: test2.org
[[file:test.org::+TITLE: test][test]]
3. Export C-c C-e h H
* Expected result:
An html buffer
* Actual result:
Unable to resolve link: "No match for fuzzy expression: +TITLE: test"
* Additional data
The link was created by going to the first line of test.org and hitting
C-c l, then the second line of test2.org and hitting C-c C-l.
* Work around
It seems like changing the link to:
[[file:test.org::#+TITLE: test][test]]
allows the export to succeed. On the other hand, the original link works
fine internally. This leads me to suspect that export is using different
code to follow links, but also that the insert link code is buggy,
skipping the pound symbol.

The pound character has a special meaning in links. It denotes custom
IDs. Here,
[[file:test.org::#+TITLE: test]]
means you're looking for a headline with the CUSTOM_ID property set to
"+TITLE: test" in the file "test.org"
Therefore, it is automatically removed in another context, e.g., in text
search.
However, the export process doesn't resolve text searches.
If you want to link to a specific part of the text, you can use
a target.
Regards,
