It is a problem to add dependencies to libraries the user must install
himself, and at the same time its a pity that there is so much
duplication instead of reuse ...
However, here is a org-dp solution, use 't' instead of 'prepend to
replace the links, and whatever you want instead of "file+emacs" as
replacement. Of course one could easily re-search and replace "[[file:"
in this simple case, but this uses the parser and allows doing more
complex stuff in a clean way too:
