Right, according to Org syntax, file:something.org is not a link. With
point on it, org-element-context returns
(node-property
(:key "GOAL" :value "I want to be able to say [[file:something.org]]" ...))
Compare that to file:language.org:
(link (:type "file" :path "language.org" ...))

As far as I know, it's been around since org-element.el was introduced
in core (2012), and I'm aware of no plans to change it.
