There does not currently exist a (pretty, without huge advices) way to
create a custom link type, with a special export function, that would be
handled as an image on LaTeX exports.
By contrast, in HTML exports is possible by adding your custom link to
`org-html-inline-image-rules` - but in LaTeX, a link must either be custom
or image, and the figure-wrapping function `org-latex--inline-image`
doesn't handle custom links; its not possible without modifying these
functions
Is this the intended behavior? If so, why?

I'll be happy to implement exporting custom image links myself, given time,
if that's the issue.

- If it was not clear, in "custom links" I'm referring to links defined
with `org-link-set-parameters` that have a special export behavior.

Sure, please go ahead!  If your change is more than 15 lines or so,
you might need to sign the FSF copyright assignment:

Yes, that's what they are for.

Thanks!

Note that I need to slightly improve the tooling in "ol.el", so
I suggest to wait for these changes, as it might make this feature
trivial.

Alright, I'll wait. Meanwhile I have a few crude advises in my config that
allow some functionality, so no hurry :)

Also, it would be nice to get access to the "info" variable for custom
links;
that way, custom image links could handle attributes like "#+WIDTH".

But straight up giving the ":export" function (registered through
"org-link-set-parameters")
another argument would break all existing custom links, so I'm not sure
whats the way
to go about this.
