But this won't be a link to the Starbucks article, but instead the 
specific one on that notable store.

If you want results only within a bounding box, set that parameter when 
querying Nominatim. See 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim#Parameters for 
documentation on Nominatim, or as an example,

- 
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=xml&bounded=1&viewbox=-123.1%2C50.2%2C-122.7%2C50.1&q=Starbucks 
for a query with few results and
- 
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=xml&bounded=1&viewbox=-123.1%2C55.2%2C-122.7%2C55.1&q=Starbucks 
for a query with no results.
