I think I have done something like that before. What I did was make it so each code block would be written out to a file, e.g. course-notes/script-%d.py and a link would be put in the exported pdf right after that block. I do not know how you could get the captions though. In the header I have this: #+LATEX_HEADER: \newcommand{\LaunchBinary}[2]{% #+LATEX_HEADER: % #1: layer name, #+LATEX_HEADER: % #2: link text #+LATEX_HEADER: \leavevmode% #+LATEX_HEADER: \pdfstartlink attr{/C [0.9 0 0] /Border [0 0 2]} user { #+LATEX_HEADER: /Subtype /Link #+LATEX_HEADER: /A << #+LATEX_HEADER: /F << #+LATEX_HEADER: /DOS (#1) #+LATEX_HEADER: /Mac (#1) #+LATEX_HEADER: /Unix (#1) #+LATEX_HEADER: >> #+LATEX_HEADER: /S /Launch #+LATEX_HEADER: >> #+LATEX_HEADER: } #2% #+LATEX_HEADER: \pdfendlink% #+LATEX_HEADER: } Then this code for the export. (I pasted it from my build file, so there may be an extra parenthesis at the end) (setq counter 0) (defun ox-mrkup-filter-src-block (text back-end info) (setq counter (+ counter 1)) (let ((filename (format "course-notes-scripts/script-%d.py" counter))) (with-temp-buffer (insert (mapconcat 'identity (butlast (cdr (split-string text "\n" t))) "\n")) (write-region (point-min) (point-max) filename)) (format "%s \\LaunchBinary{%s}{Open the python script (%s).} " text filename filename))) (let ((org-export-filter-src-block-functions '(ox-mrkup-filter-src-block))) (org-latex-export-to-latex async subtreep visible-only body-only '(:with-author t :with-date t :with-title t :with-timestamps t :with-todo-keywords t :with-toc nil)))) maybe that is close to what you want?
