In my previous example the

  (org-link-search "[[:file local circular link:]]" (point))

to get enough from the org-link-search argument AVOID-POS would work
to jump between the two links. But when the second link is in a
headline

-------------------------------------
[[:file local circular link:]]
some text
* [[:file local circular link:]]
-------------------------------------

the second link jumps only to itself with the new org-link-search. I
understand that this is desired behavior because the headline gets
priority over the target on line 1. Before your change the target on
line 1 was the match when following the link on line 3, which was a
bug that I wrongly relied on to jump backwards. My conclusion is that
org-link-search is the wrong function for my purpose and I will have
to implement something with re-search-forward on my own.

My main requirement is that the link has to be also the target, not a
link and a target side by side. How could that be fulfilled with
target-links?
