When I follow from one Org file to another via a link, the new file appears in alternative window if there is one. Is there a way to follow links staying in the same window?

For example, I use a frame with two horizontally split windows. Left is for code, right is for docs in Org format. If I follow a link in the right window, the new Org file is opened on the left side, and I do not see the buffer with a code anymore.
