Re: [O] How about Org Mode invalid link handling strategy for exporting?

[John Kitchin]

Can you (setq org-export-with-broken-links t) to address some of these?

It looks like (setq org-export-with-broken-links 'mark)

will change them to [BROKEN LINK: path].

According to the docs:

This option can also be set with the OPTIONS keyword, e.g.,
"broken-links:mark".
