Did you actually encounter such situation?
`org-babel-detangle' is far from ideal in general.
For example, detangling noweb references is pretty much guaranteed to
create mess.

I do not like the idea of creating side effects in the original Org
document during tangling.
We can, however, use (org-id-link-to-org-use-id 'use-existing) to use
the already present IDs.

Ideally, we should improve the detangling to understand the order of
blocks better instead of searching the containing heading independently.
