Thank you.

This works.

(defun org-link-gopher-export-link (link desc format)
  "Create export version of LINK and DESC to FORMAT."
  (let ((link (concat "gopher:" link)))
    (cond
     ((eq format 'html)
      (format "<a href=\"%s\">%s</a>" link desc))
     ((eq format 'latex)
      (format "\\href{%s}{%s}" link desc))
     (t                               ;`ascii', `md', `hugo', etc.
      (format "[%s](%s)" desc link)))))
(org-link-set-parameters "gopher" :export #'org-link-gopher-export-link)
