Looks a great idea though, tagged.

A - Well yes the link is still clickable as there isn't really an easy way for the system to determine whether it is a place or not. Let's be honest there are alot of obscure places in the world lol. Unfortunately nothing i can do about this.

B - It will go to the most well known place, people can be more specific in there location though. For example Perth, they could have the location set to Perth, UK or Perth, AU. Also the search results have a dropdown showing similar places...

Hope this helps
