Links and targets are different in the sense that the former has an
invisible part, unlike to the latter. `org-get-outline-path' simply
removes that part since users probably do not distinguish their headings
using hidden characters.
OTOH, it could make sense to preserve targets, e.g., in the following:
* Doc 1
** Introduction <<intro1>>
...
* Doc 2
** Introduction <<intro2>>
...
Eventually, albeit tangential to the problem, I think using a CUSTOM_ID
is probably better than inserting a target in a headline.
