I have come up with a better solution than globally passing "broken"
links. I defined a new "raw" link type. So now if I want to put a
non-standard link in my export, I can do something like:
Here is a [[raw:foo:/\bar, baz][bad link]].
which is exported in html as:
Here is a <a href="foo:/\bar, baz">bad link</a>.
Now I can have non-standard links included in the output without
disabling link checking for all standard link types. This is how it is
defined in my .emacs:
(org-add-link-type "raw" 'org-raw-follow 'org-raw-export)
(defun org-raw-follow (path))
(defun org-raw-export (path desc format)
"Export a raw link.
See `org-add-link-type' for details about PATH, DESC and FORMAT."
(cond
((eq format 'html) (format "<a href=\"%s\">%s</a>" path desc))
((eq format 'latex) (format "\\href{%s}{%s}" path desc))
((eq format 'ascii) (format "%s (%s)" desc path))
(t path)))
Perhaps this could be included in the standard Org distribution as a
fallback option for exporting non-standard link types. Emacs/Org does
nothing with the link. The user is responsible for ensuring the output
is correct.
