There's only 1 type of link between headers in org-mode; what's different is the way in which you use it.

* About web pages
** CSS
** HTML
*** Convert to other formats
**** convert to JSON
Use html2json
**** convert to PDF → see [[html_to_pdf]]
* About PDFs
** create them
*** from .odt
Click that icon.
*** from .html. id:html_to_pdf
There's this method…
*** from .tex


In this case, that „HTML→PDF“ section could live under the „web pages“ tree or under the „PDFs“ tree, and there's no difference because it's exactly the same information.
If you consider „link following“ as a trivial operation, you could say that that knowledge is accessible under both trees at the same time. It's not transclusion, but it works the same.

Note that in the example above, the „→ see …“ header must be empty of content. If you write inside, it's not a light link anymore, it's a header on its own.

Org-mode could offer this type of header built-in (a light header is a header which must link to another one and have no content), but you can do it with the current tools and a bit of care.
