Internal links do not work in HTML export unless CUSTOM_ID is used.
I have tried with [[id:]] and [[*Heading]] links.
It makes the link like this:
<a href="#sec-49">
It makes the anchor like this:
<h2 id="sec-49">...</h2>
and if the entry has ID (id: link is used) then also
<a name="ID-80ea259f-73f0-4456-b2f5-3343d44e6336"
id="ID-80ea259f-73f0-4456-b2f5-3343d44e6336"></a>
Unfortunately h2.id doesn't create an anchor,
and even for id: links it uses <href="#sec-49">, which doesn't work.
I wondered how links in WORK work, so I checked, e.g.
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html
The link is denoted like this
[[#source-code-execution][here]]
and the target like this:
* Source Code Execution
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: source-code-execution
:END:
Indeed the Org manual advises:
The most important case is a link like
`[[#my-custom-id]]' which will link to the entry with the `CUSTOM_ID'
property `my-custom-id'. Such custom IDs are very good for HTML export
(*note HTML export::) where they produce pretty section links.
But it would be very tedious to add CUSTOM_ID to every target,
and the manual also hints to it:
You are responsible yourself to make sure these custom IDs are unique
Having to go out and make a target interrupts one's flow.
It's much faster to type "[[*He" and use completion to create the link.
That's why I've marked this "BUG" and not "Enhancement".
