How do I link to a specific line in an org-babel block?

I tried using [[file:.../my.org::search-term]] , but this only works for
jumping to a heading, not an arbitrary line. (It does work for non-org
files.)

a.org:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(message "Hello world!")
(message "Hello other worlds!!!") ; (ref:greetworlds)
#+end_src

b:org
[[./a.org::(greetworlds)]]

That's because "search-term" is used for fuzzy search, which is limited
to headings by default. You can customize
`org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline' to change this.

Thanks, that works great. Can these work with ID links, too?

Yes, on the latest main, where we support search strings in id: links.
