According to the EJB-spec, you should set ejb-link to the name of the
bean you want to reference. jBoss follows the EJB-spec, so...

There are two ways to configure what a EJB-reference should point to.
The EJB-spec way is to link it to another bean in the same application.
However, if you need to talk to some bean that is not in the same
application, then jBoss have introduced a JNDI-name setting that you can
enter any valid JNDI-name into (which the other bean is bound to).
Normally you wouldn't use this. This is only for the special cases where
you need to reference outside beans.
