Please refer to this issue [[Feature Request] Add the dedicated target Org element filter · Issue #271 · nobiot/org-transclusion · GitHub](https://github.com/nobiot/org-transclusion/issues/271)

The `ID::*Heading` is new in Org syntax and I haven’t got round to supporting it. The dev branch mentioned in the issue is intended to do it. It will help me if you can test it and let me know if it works (judging from okomestudio’s comment, it may not yet).
