There are two things going on here.
The first one, which is minor, is that e-ascii back-end currently
doesn't handle correctly translated links anywhere. This is easy to fix.
The second one is a more difficult problem. Org Elements usually
translates links on the fly when parsing them: `org-element-link-parser'
calls `org-translate-link'. This function requires
`org-link-abbrev-alist' and `org-link-abbrev-alist-local' variables to
be set properly, the second one being a local variable.
Unfortunately, parsing of secondary strings (in particular headline
titles or inline footnote definitions) happens in a temporary buffer,
where no local variable is set. There `org-link-abbrev-alist-local' is
nil, no matter what your #+LINK: keyword says, and link translation
can't happen.
Also, local variables cannot be send to the temporary buffer, because
secondary string parsing can sometimes happen when the original buffer
isn't supposed to exist, that is during export (when the parse tree is
the only trusted data).
A possible solution would be to move link translation from
org-element.el to org-export.el. But that would require to explicitly
call a translator function on links, which would be an additional task
for back-end developers. Also, `org-element-context' would not return
anymore the real path of the abbreviated link, only its raw path.
