Hi All,

Following Ihor’s recent org-persist improvements, I’ve prepared a patch making
use of it to allow for remote resource links to be transformed to local file
links during export.

This feature is implemented in ox.el, and made use of in ox-latex.el (for now)
— you can now link to https and tramp files and it should /just work/™.

Here’s a demo of what you can expect:

The patch is attached. If there aren’t any objections raised, I plan to merge it
shortly (in a day or two).

All the best,
Timothy
