If I have a file symlinked to another directory, is it possible for it
to be exported to the original source directory as a .tex file please?
Example -
Original file ~/research/rhubarb/rhubarb17.org
Symlinked to ~/.emacs.d/org/rhubarb17.org
But when I export the file from the symlink to a latex file I end up with ~/.emacs.d/org/rhubarb17.tex
Whereas what I'm looking for is ~/research/rhubarb/rhubarb17.tex
So how can I do that please?
Thanks
Sharon.

Just off the top of my head, things I would try would be
There is no easy switch to just make this happen that I'm aware
of. Therefore, I think you really only have two options.
1. You could try setting an :export property at the file header level
which specifies the name (and location) of the export file.
2. Change your setup and instead of having a file sym link, do a sym
link of the parent directory. Any files you then put into that directory
will appear under your .emacs.d as well as being put into the original
source directory.
