Yes, "local then global" search makes sense (I especially like how the
infobrowser pops out to a global search with an extra ^S after failure).

But for org links, I'm not 100% sure - consider this org-file:

* Notes
* Some topic
[[Notes]]
** Notes

If buffer is widen, the link goes to the toplevel header, but if I
narrow to "Some topic" the link suddenly starts going to the subheader.

So the links meaning changes depending on if the buffer is narrowed or
not.

I'm not sure it really is a problem, I just want to make sure it is taken
into consideration.

Fails means that it throws error? Or any exception?

Thanks for the review, I'll look into it soon.
