When investigating how to implement this cleanly I found some code in
org-open-at-point that widens if link isn't found:
(condition-case nil (eval cmd)
(error (progn (widen) (eval cmd))))))
However I think there is a bug in there.
(eval cmd) will cause a "No match - create this as a new heading? (y
or n)" question if the link couldn't be found. So I think it should be:
(condition-case nil (let ((org-link-search-inhibit-query t))
(eval cmd))
(error (progn (widen) (eval cmd))))))
Otherwise one would need to answer "n" to the question to widen and
find the link.
Should I submit a proper bugreport (and a patch?).

In my setup I have very different topics in same file, and the reason
I want to narrow is to avoid getting distracted. I want to emulate a
wiki with different pages. And a such I don't expect things to put in
a proper hierarchy, meaning that there will just be a bunch of
disorganized top level headers.
Without narrowing I would be looking at something like:
"""
* Unrelated heading...
* Another unrelated heading...
* Something I find interesting but don't want to think about now...
* The "page" I'm viewing
here be the contents I want to focus on now
* Hey I'm a heading that wants to distract you...

I created a separate (and not org specific) minor-mode that autowidens
on isearch.
