Hi.
May I suggest to improve the docs of
[[http://orgmode.org/manual/Special-blocks-in-LaTeX-export.html][Special
blocks in LaTeX export]] to make it more explicit that the special
blocks :options can contain both options or arguments of the LaTeX environment.
Here's an example:
#+ATTR_LATEX: :options [logo=\bcattention]{The warning}
#+BEGIN_bclogo
Attention, this is a warning
#+END_bclogo
This requires or course:
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[tikz]{bclogo}
I've been struggling with trying to do this, until I read the sources of
ox-latex and noticed that it wasn't limited to the '[...]'
options... and much later re-read the manual to finally notice the
"appends as-is to that environment's opening string" ;-)
Maybe providing an example that uses both the '[...]' and the '{...}'
would save others' time.
Unfortunately, I'm not fluent enough in LaTeX to suggest a more
"generic" environment than bclogo, readily available in an article, for a
direct patch proposal to the manual sources.
Hope this helps.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

I think minipage environment fits the bill. Would the following example,
used to put two pictures side by side, clear enough?
#+ATTR_LATEX: :options [t]{.5\textwidth}
#+BEGIN_minipage
[[file:left-image.pdf]]
#+END_minipage
#+ATTR_LATEX: :options [t]{.5\textwidth}
#+BEGIN_minipage
[[file:right-image.pdf]]
#+END_minipage
