Say I have two org files, file1.org and file2.org on disk (let's assume they are in the same directory). How can create a link on file1.org to file2.org?
Once I have the link on file1.org, let's assume I have cursor (point) sitting on that link. How can I tell Emacs to show me the corresponding file?
Finally, what if I want to create a link to a specific item of file2.org ?

Links in Org are plain text, and you can type or paste them straight into the buffer. By using this command, the links are automatically enclosed in double brackets, and you will be asked for the optional descriptive text.
Create a hyperlink to a file on your computerSelect the text or picture that you want to display as a hyperlink. Press Ctrl+K. Under Link to, do one of the following: To link to an existing file, click Existing File or Web Page under Link to, and then find the file in the Look in list or the Current Folder list.
Org Mode (also: org-mode; /ˈɔːrɡ moʊd/) is a document editing, formatting, and organizing mode, designed for notes, planning, and authoring within the free software text editor Emacs.
Capture lets you quickly store notes with little interruption of your work flow. Org's method for capturing new items is heavily inspired by John Wiegley's excellent Remember package. Setting up capture. Using capture. Capture templates.
Use the C-c C-l shortcut to create link and use the syntax
file:./file2.org
and use C-c C-o with cursor on link to visit that link.
To link to a specific item, use
file:projects.org::*task title heading search in Org file
the doc: http://orgmode.org/org.html#External-links
you can even search for words:
file:projects.org::some words
I like to use org-id-copy. It's kind of a precision instrument compared
to the other methods that give you troubles when there are many candidates.
After the call, current heading will have ID set in its property drawer.
The ID looks like 5d76eafc-94f6-47b1-ae4c-a7e917986fd1 and it's in your kill ring now.
You can insert with C-c C-l to make it look like
[[id:5d76eafc-94f6-47b1-ae4c-a7e917986fd1][link]]
You can see a sample usage within one file at https://gist.github.com/abo-abo/6040382 , but it also works across multiple files.
