I have no idea what interface `org-store-link' should have to be really 
flexible and convenient.

Have you considered file- (or directory-) local variables?
info "(emacs) Specifying File Variables"
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Specifying-File-Variables.html

# Local Variables:
# org-id-link-to-org-use-id: use-existing
# End:

at the end of specific files.

I can not say that I am happy with implementation of `org-store-link' or 
that I fully understand ideas behind ol.el. I just found an example of 
`org-id-store-link' usage:
https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/org-contrib/tree/master/item/lisp/org-contacts.el#L1171
see definition of "org-contact" link a bit above as well.
