This may not be the solution you are looking for, but maybe a good
source of ideas:

Another idea: Just use a (configurable) function name or source block
name to look for in a document. Then some magic function (say
org-compile-document) can look for a custom function/block inside the
document (e.g. look for a marked source block) and execute it, if
found. If no custom function/block is found, some default action will
be executed (e.g. ask user what to do, run pre-configured default
export action etc.).
