I strongly discourage abusing internal implementation details.
This behaviour is not documented. Moreover, I just suggested changing it.

My suggestion will avoid the very need to have this list.

Yes. The main problem is that I fail to understand the motivation behind
the current behaviour. git logs reveal that the code is there from the
initial version of the library.
For now, the current behaviour looks like an oversight.
Also, only ox-latex-derived backends that worked around the current
undocumented behaviour might be affected.

What I meant is a new link property called :filter.

This is not what the bug report was about. I'd prefer to focus this
particular discussion closer to the bug report reproducer.
Feel free to branch off a new feature request about :follow with more
details on what you have in mind. I'd prefer a more concrete proposal,
because I have no good ideas how to make things easier.
