Re: Link type for HTML5 videos

[John Kitchin <jkitchin@andrew.cmu.edu>]

That looks too rich for a link to me unless alot of it is always the
same, or derived, e.g. the id tags.

Something like this is what a link would look like:

video:quadratic.webm

and the html export could certainly generate what you put in the html
block below.

See
http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2016/11/04/New-link-features-in-org-9/
for how to make a link, try it and report back if it is useful.
