Hello!
I am trying to exclude different sub-trees (a.k.a. headings or sections), depending on the exporter backend. I am familiar with =:noexport:= to exclude selected sections (disregarding the backend). I found a solution, but it is only intended for a specific backend:
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/76454
I would like to recommend that such a thing is implemented for any backend. So that :noexport_X: (where X is a backend) is excluded. Something like:
* Not for html :noexport_html:
* For HTML :noexport_latex:
Thank you!

For arbitrary backend, you can try
(defun exclude-from-latex-export-hook (backend)
(setq org-export-exclude-tags (cons (format "noexport_%s" backend) org-export-exclude-tags)))

This is not a feature request I see often in the forums.
It is also easy to implement.
I think that it would be ok to add such feature if multiple users are interested.

The suggestions to use backend-specific export tag in the links are used
as ugly workarounds. I am not sure if they justify adding a new feature
for Org mode. (Why would we add something with a purpose of being used
as a workaround instead of fixing the original problem, after all?)
As for ignore-heading, please search list archives - adding this feature
has been discussed many times and the author of Org export system
repeatedly opposed it. This is why:

Hi, I had a need for this again (sorry for the necro-bump).

Ok. It was just to show that there are other people who may use it :) .

Ok. Sorry. I should have assumed (or looked for) that there was a reason :) .

One month is perfectly normal reply time by mailing list standards :)
We just start questioning whether the discussion is active after one month.

Note that we are currently discussing somewhat similar idea, but for all
the Org markup elements, not just headings:

To be fair, it would be nice to include :ignore: tag as a part of the
Org. However, we need to somehow make sure that nothing unexpected
happens when users use :ignore: in a context where it does not make
sense:
* Heading
** Sub-heading
Text.
* Ignored :ignore:
Merging this text with previous sub-heading is unexpected.
If you have ideas how to address such scenarios, feel free to share
them.
