I tried to use this idea, but I'm not sure how to set the 'target' in your example:

[[button:some target][This is a button]]

For example, I tried this:

[[button:http://www.sambanya.com/artgallery.html][Art Gallery Page Link]]

But received this error:

user-error: Unable to resolve link: "button:http://www.sambanya.com/artgallery.html"

Thanks,

Sam

One possibility is to use a custom link. For example:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(org-link-set-parameters "button"
   :face '(:foreground "green" :underline t)
   :export (lambda (path desc backend)
     (when (eq backend 'html)
       (format "<form><button class=\"mybutton\" formaction=\"%s\">%s</button></form>" path desc))))
#+end_src

#+HTML_HEAD: <style> .mybutton{background-color:#4CAF50;border:none;color:white;padding:15px32px;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;display:inline-block;font-size:18px;margin:4px2px;cursor:pointer;</style>

[[button:some target][This is a button]]

NB: I have borrowed the style from here: https://www.w3schools.com/csS/css3_buttons.asp
