Hello,
Is there a way to make org-export-resolve-id-link look for link resolution
outside the current scope?
I just threw in a (save-restriction (widen) ..) inside
org-export-resolve-id-link, and that of course did not work (and thus this
email).
Below is a little example:
* Link source
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: link-source
:END:
- Link to [[#link-dest][Link dest]]
** Link dest
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: link-dest
:CUSTOM_ID: link-dest
:END:
- I would like to export just the "Link source" subtree (let's say C-c C-e
C-s t A), and have the link resolve to the "link-dest" CUSTOM_ID.
- To put this the other way, I want to export just the subtree, but look at
the whole buffer for link resolution.
I know that does not make sense, but I need that for the Hugo exporter
backend.
Application: I have one subtree (Hugo post) containing a CUSTOM_ID based
internal link to some other subtree (Hugo post), and I want to retain the
link reference. Hugo would then figure out the rest.
What function could I advice and with what to make this happen?
Thanks.

Ah! I made a typo in the example above; here's the corrected one:
* Link source
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: link-source
:END:
- Link to [[#link-dest][Link dest]]
* Link dest
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: link-dest
:CUSTOM_ID: link-dest
:END:
("Link source" and "Link dest" subtrees are at the same level. So exporting
just "Link source" subtree does not 'see' the "Link dest" subtree.)

I guess you could write a function that changes custom ID links into
external links prior to export, e.g., within
`org-export-before-parsing-hook'.

If I understand correctly, it would mean replacing "[[#link]]" with
"[[./current-file.org::#link]]"? (I haven't yet verified if that
#+INCLUDE-like syntax works for links too.)
Also, I am working on implementing this in an exporter backend. So what
would be the canonical way to do that in ox-foo.el?
Thanks.

I think I would do something like this: in a parse tree filter, find
every custom ID link then expand current buffer, find real destination,
and replace the original ID link with an external link generated from
the aforementioned destination.
