I think that it will be a reasonable addition.

What about inherited CUSTOM_ID?

Yes, on both questions.

This is code duplication from another branch of the same function.
Please, rewrite without copy-pasting large chunks of code.
For example, you can extract the common parts of the code into a private
helper function.

This will no longer store a link to current entry with INHERIT argument.
The search string will be missing from the link path.
Ideally, we should have all the necessary logic to store the link within
`org-id-store-link' and then use `org-link-set-parameters' to configure
id links.
