This change may be Herculean--giving links full access to
target attributes--but I certainly hope not.

As I thought about it, it seems like fair amount of abstraction will be
possible, creating one org-attribute name that would export appropriately
to each target, without attaching destination prefixes to every item.
But some will likely need to be target specific.

Thanks again,
