Search part definitely should be retained.

I have realized that in the LaTeX world inter-document cross-linking 
works differently. With the xr-hyper package, labels from another 
document may be used directly or with a prefix:
https://texfaq.org/FAQ-extref
It may be implemented for Org random labels.

However I would strongly prefer PDF files having stable anchors based on 
CUSTOM_ID, not ones derived from section, figure, etc. counters. I am 
unsure if there is a package that allows to get such anchors out of the box.

When I looked into the code for link targets resolution in the context 
of ox-html, I found it rather complicated.

Depending on your requirements, it might be possible to export to HTML 
files and then print them to PDF as a workaround. Chromium supports 
headless printing, so it should be scriptable. However to improve 
quality of formatting almost certainly heavy customization of CSS.

I have realized that Chomium scrolls to proper position in PDF when it 
opens a file URI with #anchor part, but it does not update tab address 
bar when an internal link is clicked and it does not react when URL is 
edited to change #anchor part.
