It has always bugged me when clicking on an id link does not put the point on the headline when narrowing is in place. Opening in a new buffer might be a nice compromise of preserving the restriction in place, and getting to the point of interest. I think these are called indirect buffers (http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Indirect-Buffers.html).
