From observation of effects, it seems to me that in LaTeX export:

o plain file names in links get hyperref'ed, e.g [[image.pdf]
o pathnames in links get a figure environment and \includegraphics, e.g. [[./image.pdf]]
o file: type links get \includegraphics without a figure environment, e.g. [[file:image.pdf]]

I didn't look very hard, but I didn't find documentation on these.
But I seem to recall some discussion of this on the ML a long time ago.

In HTML export, everything is a link. What happens in other exports,
I have no idea.
