It is a great idea.  Most of my links end up being in http format
pointing to the final location of things, which is a brittle solution
and prevents following them from org-mode.

For exporting subtrees in jekyll format you'd probably want to allow
the value of EXPORT_FILE_NAME to be a function that computes it from
the entry properties.

Another problem is how to export images and attachments.  I haven't
solved it yet: I manually copy them to their final destination, and
have a link in org-mode that will translate to something correct when
exported.  It'd be great to be able to refer to an attached file from
a link in an entry, and copy during export the attachments directory.

Best,

Juan
