My current (default) behaviour when click a [[link]] in org-mode is for Emacs to search a matching heading.

However, I wanted to redefine this behaviour to open a file called link.org. That is, for every link I have [[foo]], clicking it would be same as clicking [[file:./foo.org]]. How can I do this?

Note: I could write all my links as [[file:./foo.org]] but I wanted to leave them as [[foo]] for compatibility with external applications.

Retask C-c C-o and/or add a modifier to the mouse click, like M-<click>. Essentially, instead of handling a normal click event, and following the link, they fire a function that opens the target document.
