Note that using custom link types is -- in my opinion -- outperformed by
the Org macros. For example, because custom link types limit you to
2 arguments, no more.
With macros, you can have as many as you want (or at least 9?), and you
can also easily convert the macro code per back-end; for example:
#+MACRO: cite @@latex:\cite{$1}@@@@odt:\cite{$1}@@
Note that I'm planning to write a set of default (useful) Org macros,
and publish them.
My project is currently on GitHub: https://github.com/fniessen/org-macros.
See documentation on
http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/fniessen/org-macros/blob/master/README.html.
Best regards,
Fabrice
