We definitely need something to fine-tune export properties inline.
However, I am skeptical about using links for this purpose in Org
proper, not individual user configs.

This is because link description cannot contain arbitrary objects. In
particular, one cannot put other links, radio-targets, line-breaks,
citations, etc.
I believe that the right way to go here is what we previously discussed
as inline special block equivalent. That way, we will not need to create
workarounds with special link type.
