All the discussion about citations has gotten me thinking. It is easy
enough to export cite links to the pandoc format, including pre and post
text. I have done a proof of concept of this in a markdown export.
I would like to do an org export to org, with the goal of the exported
org document to no longer have cite:KEY1,KEY2 but rather [@KEY1; @KEY2]. So far my
investigations of exporting org to org have not led anywhere; the links are
untouched, even with an org format option in the link definition.
Are links ignored in an org export to org? If not, is there some trick
to converting them to another format?
Thanks!

ox-org.el defines the org backend with (link . org-org-identity) -
actually just about everything is tied to org-org-identity (with a few
exceptions of course). Maybe you can derive a backend which munges links
appropriately (for some value of "appropriately")?

Thanks for the tip.
Today what I tried for this worked fine. This will export an org file to
an org file, but transform all the cite type links into pandoc format,
including pre/post text if you put that in the link description with ::
as a separator. Then you could run that org file through pandoc. It
looks like this would work for any export that can use pandoc citations,
with a simple redefinition of the derived backend.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun pandoc-cite-format (link contents info)
(if (-contains? org-ref-cite-types (org-element-property :type link))
(cond
;; link with description
((org-element-property :contents-begin link)
(let* ((contents (buffer-substring
(org-element-property :contents-begin link)
(org-element-property :contents-end link)))
(split (split-string contents "::"))
(pre-text (nth 0 split))
(post-text (nth 1 split)))
(concat
"[@" (org-element-property :path link)
(when pre-text (concat ", " pre-text))
(when post-text (concat ", " post-text))
"]"
)
))
;; plain citations
(t
(concat "["
(mapconcat (lambda (key) (concat "@" key))
(split-string (org-element-property :path link) ",")
"; ")
"]")))
;; not a cite link. just return the original link
(org-org-identity link contents info)))
(org-export-define-derived-backend 'pandoc-org 'org
:translate-alist '((link . pandoc-cite-format)))
(find-file (org-export-to-file 'pandoc-org "org-to-org.org"))
#+END_SRC

I added the possibility to handle custom link export functions in `org'
export back-end.
Thanks for suggesting it.
