It may not be what you want, but it might help you build your code. I hope it helps!there is no builtin way to do this that I know of. I do this in publishing blogposts from org-mode. i use a filter on links that does this. The copying code is here:the results of that code can be seen at http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu. I wrote about doing some of this here: http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2013/09/28/Changing-links-to-files-so-they-work-in-a-blog/

I know org-publish has functionality to copy files with certain suffices on defined project, but my need is to export single file or single subtree in the buffer.
For example, when I export the following subtree, it would be lovely to copy the spam.png to the path I set up.* foo
[[file:spam.png]]
