Two examples:

1. with a full AST

    (org-with-wide-buffer
     (dolist (link (nreverse
                    (org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer) 'link
                      (lambda (l)
                        (member (org-element-property :type l)
                                '("custom-id" "fuzzy"))))))
       (goto-char (+ (org-element-property :begin link) 2))
       (insert "file:path/to/other-file.org::")))

2. working directly on the buffer

    (org-with-wide-buffer
     (goto-char (point-min))
     (while (re-search-forward org-bracket-link-regexp nil t)
       (let ((context (org-element-context)))
         (when (and (eq (org-element-type context) 'link)
                    (member (org-element-property :type context)
                            '("custom-id" "fuzzy")))
           (goto-char (+ (org-element-property :begin context) 2))
           (insert "file:path/to/other-file.org::")))))
