However, do you remember the episode Queen of Hearts where Regina sends Hook to Wonderland to kill Cora. She mentions that she does not want her to come to Storybrooke. Perhaps the Curse can enter other worlds, but something intervene? I always believed this piece of dialogue meant that the curse would reach Wonderland too. Which explains why Jafar, the Red Queen and Alice never aged during the curse (Alice knows Will Scarlet, who was taken, from before the curse).

Regina meant that Cora will somehow find a way to come to Storybrooke by any portals, not just the curse, so she had Hook killed her.

And Will Scarlet was taken by the curse because he returned to the Enchanted Forest, which is revealed in a dialogue between Will & Alice in episode 2(or 4 - I don't remember) Actually, Cora did not know anything about a Curse when Hook came to kill her, however, she understand the Curse's effects (probably due to learning magic many many years ago). However, she spend a lot of time in Wonderland trying to get out. She even used the Mad Hatter to make another hat for her, which failed Cora didn't tell Jefferson to make the hat for her, she told him (through her second Knave) that if he could make another hat, he could leave Wonderland.

I still believe that the Curse taps into your desires and literally brings whoever your heart wanted to punish/be with you. Which is why Regina needed Cora killed, because as she told her mother in 2x09, she loved her. And she also wanted to punish everyone which is why the Curse took as many people as possible. So if the Curse could've taken Cora out of Wonderland (if Cora hadn't intervened), it could've taken anyone from anywhere.
