I think the function is the best option, as the logic of whether to
store ids (based on the value of org-id-link-to-org-use-id) is
hard-coded into org-store-link and can't be changed through arguments.
You could always create a custom function and bind it to 'C-c l' in
org-mode:
(defun my-org-store-org-link (arg)
"Store a link org mode.
When there is a prefix arg, use file+headline format"
(interactive "P")
(let ((org-id-link-to-org-use-id (not arg)))
(org-store-link nil t)))
Best,
Matt
