To summarize, you don't know the URL until you post.  So you have to
tell org what the base URL should be for <<...>> anchors if they lie
outside the exported region.

Like this.

  #+BASE-URL: http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com/my-post

Is there a way to do that?

For footnotes, I think simply including the footnote would work.  Even
though the definition is outside of the region that is being exported.

Please consider both of these to be feature requests.  :)

Example of what I think would work:

  * top
    * first document -- this is exported and we get the URL when we post
      * <<anchor in first document>>
go to [[anchor in second document]]
    * second document -- this is exported and we get the URL when we post
#+URL-FOR-EXTERNAL-ANCHORS http://example.org/first-document.html
      * <<anchor in second document>>
go to [[anchor%20in%20first%20document][anchor in first document]]

Comments are very welcome.  Is the problem clearly explained here?

Not sure if this thread was clear enough to make it interesting.

I am suggesting that when you export a subtree or a region, and you
have a link to an anchor (e.g. a link to a <<...>>>), and that link is
broken, because the referent is outside of the subtree or region, we
can do this:

  Get the link referent normally (just as we do in the .org file)
  Append it to a URL provided in a property for the subtree that contains it

That way, you can export one subtree as a blog entry, and another
subtree as a blog entry, and if links point to the other subtree, they
will get exported properly -- as long as you supply the base URL.
