Hi,

This sounds like a good idea, but unfortunately it seems that the
`broken-links:mark'
option doesn't preserve the text of the link. In fact, looking at the
source, the code that handles broken link errors doesn't even have access
to the link's text, only the link target, so it's already too late once the
org-link-broken signal is thrown. This also means that the implementation I
was considering won't work.

So, it looks like I need to intercept execution earlier in the export
process. Any ideas on how to do that?

Thanks,

Ryan
