On main, with (setq org-id-link-to-org-use-id nil), you see the equivalent behaviour (a link to [[file:test.org:::PROPERTIES:]]) when point is before the first heading. So, this seems consistent with non-org-id links?

I see. Updated to get the search string first, before the possible properties draw appears.
To make this work I changed `org-link-precise-link-target': instead of accepting the RELATIVE-TO argument and rejecting unsuitable targets internally, it now sets a marker `org-link-precise-target-marker' showing where the target that was found is, so the caller can decide if the found target is suitable. I copied the approach from `org-entry-property-inherited-from', hope that doesn't cause any other issues.

`org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline' affects `org-link-search', which is called by `org-id-open' -- so I think the behaviour for these org-id links should be the same as for other file links? Am I missing something?
Or, maybe you mean links that rely on `org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline' should not be stored. That would seem reasonable, but also doesn't need to be part of these changes here?

It seems like the behaviour below would be desirable, but doesn't currently exist with any setting of `org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline'?
(org-link-search "plain text") --> fuzzy search for all text
(org-link-search "*heading") --> search only headings, optionally creating if missing

I don't think it's a problem. (org-current-level) returns something suitable whether or not point-min contains a heading. Both the situations below seem reasonable choices for the level of the newly created heading at the end:
---start of narrowing---
Text
* H1
** H2
* A new level 1 heading is created at the end
---end of narrowing---
---start of narrowing---
* H1
** H2
** A new level 2 heading is created at the end
---end of narrowing---
(this is how it currently works, unless I'm missing something)

an org-id link should be stored using `org-id-store-link'.

These feature allows for more precise links when using org-id to link to
org headings, without requiring every single headline to have an id.

+When using this feature, IDs should not include =::=, which is used in

+
+For =id:= links, when this option is enabled, ~org-store-link~ will
+look for ids from parent/ancestor headlines, if the current headline
+does not have an id.
+
+Combined with the new ability for =id:= links to use search strings
+for precise link targets (when =org-id-link-use-context= is =t=, which
+is the default), this allows linking to specific headlines without
+requiring every headline to have an id property, as long as the
+headline is unique within a subtree that does have an id property.

+=<id:abc::*Child 1>=, which precisely links to the "Child 1" headline
+even though it does not have its own ID. By giving files top-level id

+robust by using the file id instead of the file path.
