Hello,
I have this elisp function that I run in org-export-before-processing-hook
that coverts a pdf to png where that png file is already linked in the org
file. Just that the png file did not exist to begin with; it is converted
from pdf at the time of exporting. [Code is at the end of this email.]
But for that you work, need to add my special keyword "convertfrompdf t"
and I chose "#+HEADER" just before the image link to do that.
Here is my MWE:
=====
#+TITLE: PDF Image
#+NAME: fig:unicorn
# Below HEADER is required where the pdf version of the referenced png file
exists.
#+HEADER: :convertfrompdf t
# The below caption line is optional
#+CAPTION: Org-mode Unicorn Logo
[[./org-mode-unicorn-logo.png]]
=====
So the question is: Is using #+HEADER for this a good idea? Would the org
devs just a better way to do the same? I basically need to be able to
control per image link if that linked image foo.png needs to be converted
from a foo.pdf.
Thanks.

I would simply use a comment with some specific pattern instead of
messing with Org syntax.
For example, I use the following comments
# © Author "title" licence
just before image links so as to mark them, collect them and build some
special page at the end of a slide with the information.

Thank you. That looks like a simple and safe idea. I will do that.
