Hi Gustav,

Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. Thanks for applying this.
It makes the behavior consistent.

What I was thinking of in terms of configuration is being able to
preserve path-based links (instead of IDs) if creating a link above the
first headline. This is the behavior that existed in the past when
org-id-link-to-org-use-id was set to t or
'create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id.

I've attached a patch that implements this. However, I also know that we
are trying to avoid configuration/feature creep in Org, so I'm
submitting this here for comments. Is this a configuration other people
want?

If not, it would be easy enough for me to hack this through advice-add.

Best,

Matt
