My mistake. I checked and this was apparently not the behavior of earlier versions of org-mode. So let me try to simplify my question: Is it possible to have an adaptive link option that creates (a) relative links for files in the same directory as my org files or in subdirectories and (b) abbreviated absolute links (i.e., ~ for home) for files in other directories within my home directory? In other words, the behavior of the absolute link option as part of the adaptive link option. As far as I can tell, when the adaptive link option is set, org-store-link and org-insert-link produce unabbreviated links for files in the home directory. Thanks (and sorry for the wordiness).
