I thought about temp files, but that makes the file names cryptic which is
inconvenient for communication without people outside org.. also, I tend
recompile figures many times which would cause a lot of cluttering files
that are hard to delete since you don't know which file is the one
currently linked in your org file...
Anyway, I made this instead which appears to work as I intended
(defun org-babel-about-to-overwrite-file ()
(let ((info (org-babel-get-src-block-info)))
(setq result-file (cdr (assoc :file (nth 2 info))))
(if (save-excursion
(goto-char 0)
(re-search-forward (concat ":file +" result-file) nil t)
(re-search-forward (concat ":file +" result-file) nil t))
(message (concat result-file " defined in more than one source block"))
(org-babel-execute-maybe))))
(add-hook 'org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c-hook 'org-babel-about-to-overwrite-file)
