Org-mode cannot link to files without an extension. I therefore cannot
use org-store-link for org-journal files, etc.
Best wishes,
Colin Baxter.

I'm not able to reproduce this on the latest main branch. I tried this with
Emacs 28.0.91:
Opened the COPYING file from org-mode repository.
Executed M-x org-store-link
Created test.org and did C-c C-l.
I was able to create a link and open it with C-c C-o.
Can you add more details like version, and steps to reproduce with
emacs -Q?

Thanks for your reply.
1. Touch two files in some directory:
touch a.org <RET>, touch z <RET>
2. emacs -Q <RET>
3. C-x f a.org <RET> and C-x f z <RET>
4. Write some text in each file
(I suppose this is not really necessary).
5. Close the buffer z.
6. In a.org enter [[file:./z][This is file z]] and save.
7. Click on the link.
8. Message "Running less in /path/to/z ... done", but link does not
open.
9. I get the same if I use C-c C-o.
10. Copy z to z.org.
11. In a.org enter [[file:./z.org][This is file z.org]] and save.
12. Link now opens if it's clicked or C-c C-o is used.
This test was done with emacs-29.0.50 and org-version 9.52. I'm on
Debian 4.9.290-1.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Colin.

This sounds like your `org-file-apps' is funny. What is its value?
Check also the value of the system-specific variable
`org-file-apps-{gnus,windowsnt,macos}' - whichever is applcible to your
case.

That should be `org-file-apps-{gnu,windowsnt,macos}'.

It turns out I was clicking the wrong mouse button. On my setup, the
right-hand mouse button opens files 'b' and 'b.<extension>',
whereas the left-hand button only opens links to 'b.<extension>'. I was
not aware that the behaviour of org-mode links was mouse-button
dependent.

I have not altered (knowingly!) my 'org-file-apps' for years. Its value
is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Value:
(("\\.pdf\\'" . "xpdf %s")
(auto-mode . emacs)
("\\.x?html?\\'" lambda
(file link)
(eww-open-file file))
("\\.pdf\\'" . system)
("\\.dvi\\'" . system)
("\\.ps\\'" . system))
Original value was
((auto-mode . emacs)
(directory . emacs)
("\\.mm\\'" . default)
("\\.x?html?\\'" . default)
("\\.pdf\\'" . default))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The odd thing is that my problem has just arisen. I don't remember
having it before say a few weeks ago.
Best wishes,
Colin.
