Thanks, that was almost exactly what I wanted, I'm trying to make three 
changes though:

 * First I want to keep the ASCII-image in the original file for easy updating

 * Second, and as a result of the above, I don't automatically include a link 
   to the file. I know what's being called so that's no big deal to manually add

 * Third (and here I've not yet succeded) I want to inhibit org-mode from 
   exporting the now still lingering ASCII-image. 

I've tried using comment blocks, but it does not work. I've just realized that 
I don't have the latest org-mode installed, so I'll try again.

My current (non-working) block now looks like this:


[[file:blue.png]]

#+BEGIN_COMMENT
#+begin_ditaa blue.png -r -S

#+end_ditaa
