What I had in mind is that only parser will be changed.
Now, [[sec:spielbeispiel]] is

(link :type "fuzzy" :path "sec:spielbeispiel" ...)

With my proposal, it would become

(link :type "sec" :path "spielbeispiel" ...)

However, "sec" link type will still not be listed in the output
`org-link-types' (not registered).

Then, ox.el and other link processing code, when encountering a link
type that is not registered, will fall back to searching "fuzzy" link.

So, export, and following the link should not be affected.

There might be caveats related to parser though.
