Aha! I am not the only one ;)

Is this a new 8.3 variable? It doesn't seem to be in my 8.2.10 MELPA
version.

I like your idea. I think you could simplify it to just:

(org-add-link-type
 "sec"
 (lambda (path)
   (org-open-link-from-string (format "[[#%s]]" path)))
 (lambda (path desc format)
   (cond
    ((eq format 'latex)
     (format "%s~\\ref{%s}" (or desc "Section") path)))))

and refer to [[sec:section-1]] that looks like this below.

** some title
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: section-1
   :END:
