It makes sense as an additional variant for 
`org-export-with-broken-links'. Currently no option allows to export 
description of broken links and sometimes it is inconvenient.

I am considering another behavior. If any PREFIX: is recognized then the 
link exported literally as PREFIX:PATH unless the PREFIX is registered as

   (org-link-register-search-link-prefix "sec")

So if the document does not contain PREFIX:NAME target then it is an 
export error (or another prescription controlled by 
`org-export-with-broken-links') and it may be reported so by `org-lint'.

Different users expect different degree of strictness during link 
export. I am unsure which variant is better.
