(info "(org) Adding Hyperlink Types")

(Side note: I would consider `org-export-derived-backend-p' instead of 
`pcase' with fixed symbols.)

So it is possible to have custom link types.

However I do not mind to have an easy way to delegate URI from :export 
function to the link transcoder of active export backend.

Current behavior with with treating link paths as fuzzy search targets 
is a kind of compromise. It allows internal search links to be shorter. 
One may have e.g. #+name: fig:something code blocks, so not every link 
looking as having some "scheme:" prefix should be treated as an external 
URI. As a result link types must be enabled explicitly.
