Hello!
I often use org-id to create persistent links to headings like this:
* Foo
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: BAR
:END:
[[BAR][Link]]
However, after inserting a line above foo, following the link BAR will take me to the wrong line, because the org-id database hasn't been updated with the headline's new position.
Running `org-id-update-id-locations` fixes this issue, but takes forever to run because it goes through all my org files.
How would I keep these links updated when I make frequent edits? Is there a function that updates the IDs in a single file only? If so, I could advice the open link function to run it first and update all the positions quickly before following the link.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

I have been reading through the code, and it appears that org-id doesn't store the actual positions of ids within all files.
It's instead fetched every time the link is accessed. There must be something strange going on with the org cache causing this issue.

I found the issue.
Apologies to anyone confused by this, it's not an issue with `org`, but rather with `org-roam`.
I assumed it wouldn't run any code when simply being loaded, but it turns out that `org-roam` was adding itself as a link follow parameter for ID links when loaded by Emacs.
Removing it solves my issue:
(org-link-set-parameters "id" :follow #'org-roam-id-open)
Thanks!
