I know for sure my way around the new exporter, but my LaTeX skills
aren't on par with that knowledge.
Anyway, I've pushed a commit which tries to create smart links.
Basically, links without a description pointing to an headline will be
turned into \ref{headline-label}, unless headline's numbering is off, in
which case they become \hyperref[headline-label]{headline-title}.
Nothing is changed for links providing their own description, and links
not pointing to headlines.
That should remove the need for a variable.
What do you think about it?

No, its (albeit useless) power is revealed by the fact that "\n:t" is
now supported in LaTeX (and ASCII). Such a feat was close to impossible
with the previous engine.
More seriously, being recursive, the new engine can export thinks like
"some *text /with nested/ emphasis*" and even "*/important/*".
And, more importantly, it is mostly made of independent parts, for
easier maintenance. For example, if I want to fix or improve links in
e-latex back-end, I know I have to start diving in
`org-e-latex-link'. That function may call other internal functions,
but, at least, I have a starting point. That will also be true for any
other back-end to come.
