Hi,

What do you expect?

Should the "::*SOMETHING"-part be discarded without warning?

The internal link cannot be known without the file, as it is of the form
orgheadlineN where N=n+1 and n is the number of headlines prior to
"*Something"...

Though perhaps the #-construct should work, as we know the custom-id.

* A link to a non existent file
[[file:~/NONEXISTENT.org::#SOMETHING][Link to header in non existing org file]]
