Org mode already does this aggressively and often. For instance, it
irrevocably widens all buffers associated with org-agenda-files when
generating the agenda. (To replicate, try narrowing to a headline in a
buffer and then calling the agenda.) The same is true of follow mode; it
widens a buffer once one moves to a line in the agenda corresponding to
that buffer. In other words, org currently does not go out of its way to
protect user's narrowed regions.

+1 on my part for widening a buffer if it contains a relevant id target.
If I click org-id-goto and the target is in my buffer, I want it to
widen that buffer.
