As I was writing this, I experimented a little. It seems that, for
"*headline" links, the following applies depending on the value of
`org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline': 
- nil: do a substring search on headlines, jump to the first one that
matches, fail if no match
- t: do an exact search on headlines, fail if no match
- 'query-to-create: do an exact search on headlines, propose to create
if no match.

The one case I'm less sure about is the first one, but this small org
file shows it seems to be the case.
