I want to export a subtree of a file, but that subtree has links to
headings in the file that are outside of the subtree. I expect the
exporting process to produce some sort of valid result, but instead it
throws an "Unable to resolve link" error. Here's a test file to
reproduce:
* Foo
* Bar :export:
[[*Foo][Foo]]
Making a file with those contents and trying to export it to e.g.
latex will fail, but if the :export: tag is removed, exporting
succeeds. I can't easily get a backtrace because the error comes from
user-error, but it happens in org-export-resolve-fuzzy-link.
Of course the exported file can't link to a target that doesn't exist,
but it's probably better to strip out the link in this case than to
throw an error, right?

Actually, wrong. It was discussed already, and the current trend is to
throw an error instead of silently dropping the link.
Can't you just filter it out before exporting?

My use case is a large file of notes that I want to typeset frequently as I
update it, so that won't work for me unless there's an easy way to pass a
filtered version of the file to the exporter.
Personally I'd prefer a customization option to change this behavior, but
if that's not doable I'll work around it. Might be worth putting a note
about it in the manual, though.
(I can't find the previous discussion of this, so sorry if I'm retreading
old ground.)
Thanks,
Michael

There are hooks, e.g. `org-export-before-processing-hook' where you can
comment out offending links.

A customizable option sounds reasonable, indeed. Do you want to provide
a patch?
