One of the limitations of Obsidian linking, and any markdown linking to be precise, is the fact that you cannot define the type of link. So, just use sentences next to the links. This way, you can evolve your locations saying what is in , next to or part of
As an example of evolving your locations and making the connections flexible, imagine that I start working on locations I care about. I am naming the locations and then slapping note content as they evolve.
[[Company A note]]
***
tags: #location

- a company is inside a [[City A]]
[[Department A note]]
***
tags: #location
***
- this department is inside [[Company A HQ]]
[[Company A HQ note]]
***
tags: #location
***
- is inside a [[City A]]
While developing my location notes I clearly mentioned a company as a location which I later find out it is wrong. Specially because Company A has warehouses in two cities. Fixing now.

My point is that you need to use sentences as ways to link locations. And maybe use tags to keep track of what is or is not a location. Things change after all.
Also, if you have not done this already, please enable "Show backlinks" to keep track of notes linking to the one you are working on if you have not done that already. It is massively useful.
