Of course that won't work! The resulting link is not a valid link
syntax. Since you don't specify a tag, the final link looks like this:

[[file:/path/to/file.org::]]

which is incorrect.

=46rom a test the following worked nicely.

#+LINK: odir2 file:~/org/coding.org

[[odir2][link to file]]

So in conclusion, if you want to use both bare file/directory links as
well as headline/search links, you would have to define two separate
link shortcuts.

Hope that helps.
