hi all,
as title says, a link such as
  [[http://www.somewhere.org][\maketitle]]
is badly handled.

In what way?

By the LaTeX exporter.
It gets translated into
  \href{http://www.somewhere.org}{\maketitle}
whereas I'd have expected
  \href{http://www.somewhere.org}{\\maketitle}

AFAICT, it has nothing to do with links:

        \foo

in normal text, becomes \foo in the latex export.

Moreover, even if org did what you expected, I doubt that LaTeX would do
anything reasonable with the result (at least, a few tentative tests here
produce either LaTeX errors - e.g. if the link is in a headline - or
the \\ is interpreted as a newline - if the link is in the body of a paragraph.)
