Not possible. Also, link syntax sounds awkward because most links
wouldn't make sense there.

What about introducing a new property:

  :EXPORT_FILE_DIRECTORY:

When set, e.g. to "dir", assuming EXPORT_FILE_NAME is set to "foo/file",
export file name becomes "dir/file".

Since you can set it per subtree or document, I think it would help in
your situation.

WDYT?
