To be able to do this, you should let org-mode create a universal ID
for the heading that you want to link to. The following steps should
help you do this.

1. Make sure you have the org-id module loaded.
: (require 'org-id)
2. In the file foo.org, go to the first heading (presuming that's the
heading you want to link to).
3. Call the function =org-store-link=.
: M-x org-store-link
4. Go to the location in bar.org, where you want to insert the link.
5. Call the function =org-insert-link=.
: M-x org-insert-link
Use the arrow keys to select the link you want to insert, from the
list.

HTH,
Puneeth
