It is good that you have a solution, albeit with the caveat you mention above.

A couple of thoughts:

There is a hook that operates on the copy buffer before parsing viz. "org-export-before-parsing-functions is a variable defined in ‘ox.el’." (In older versions, it was org-export-before-parsing-hook.) Maybe you can add a hook that will add that prefix to all links, so you do not need to put it in your working files.

Or you could write an elisp macro that takes two arguments (link, desc) and uses them to either construct a link or your preferred substitute if it fails validation. 

HTH,

Chuck
