Oh, that path will be horrible! Variable substitution is really
important since it is an abstraction to make the same org file works on
different hosts with different path hierarchies. I believe there are
lots of users already rely on it, even without being documented. The
reasonable thinking would be supporting more substitutions, rather than
remove any.

I think we need keep consistent with the file link. Since file link will

do the same thing when export to html files. It may keep the variables
when export to Org (ox-org). Since both image link and file link are
links, from user's perspective they should be consistent.
This feature is not even documented. We may as well go other way and
remove variable substitution from the file links and keep the rest
unchanged. Not that we have to. But I think that the topic is worth
discussing first.
