Hi!
If an org buffer is narrowed, and one tries to do org-open-at-point on
a link that points to outside of the restriction it asks: "No match -
create this as a new heading?". When answering no the buffer is
widened and the reseach is done, and if the link still can't be
resolved the question is asked again.
For nonexistant links this happens even if the buffer isn't narrowed -
one needs to answer "n" twice.
I also attached an alternate patch which (IMHO) simplifies the
implementation by hiding the hard work in a macro, and as a bonus it
only calls org-link-search once. But it is much more intrusive.

Make org-open-at-point only ask once whether new header should be created.
When following "thisfile" links org-open-at-point is kind enough to
retry org-link-search again after widening the buffer it can't be
found. However org-link-search also asks the question "No match -
create this as a new heading? (y or n)" when target can't be
found. This means that the question is asked twice when following a
nonexistent link and answering no.
This is fixed by setting org-link-search-inhibit-query in first try,
so only second invocation asks the question.
