I don't know if this is exactly what you are asking for but I hit on the
following a few weeks ago.  It defines an elisp macro inside the org
file and then calls it later in the header of a code block to switch the
output file names based on which backend (if any) is in effect.  I hope
it helps.

If you have a better way to do these kind of output switches, I'd like
to know.


* COMMENT setup

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent
  (defmacro by-backend (&rest body)
    `(case (if (boundp 'backend) backend nil) ,@body))
#+end_src
  
* A graph

#+header: :file (by-backend (html "graph.png") (latex "graph.pdf") (t "graph.svg"))
#+header: :export results
#+begin_src dot
digraph Name {
        tail -> head;
}
#+end_src


-Brett.
