Hi,
I'd like to add a new option to the LaTeX backend from a contrib/
package so that it can be set with a #+ keyword. Is this possible? If
so how would one go about making this change. If not what's the best
way to add a new optional value to an existing backend (to be used by a
new link exporting function and/or the org-export-before-parsing-hook).
Thanks,

Hi, Eric,
You can derive a new back-end from existing ones. Please consult org
export reference
documentation<http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-export-reference.html>
.

Yes, I've done this before, however I'm hoping to modify an existing
backend.

It really depends on what you need. I don't get your example. What would
that option do?
Anyway, you can use defadvice (see "ox-bibtex.el") to alter the
behaviour of an existing back-end.

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks! I was not aware that ox-bibtex.el existed, this accomplishes
exactly the use case I had in mind. I've just pushed up two very small
changes to ox-bibtex.
1. The cite link following function falls back to obe-goto-citation if
ebib is not fbound, and
2. `org-bibtex-process-bib-files' is only called on HTML export, so
bibtex2html is not a requirement of ox-bibtex if used for latex
export only.
Best,
