I think that a middle ground could be introducing pseudo objects, like
what we do in ox-latex: See latex-math-block, latex-matrices,
`org-latex-math-block-tree-filter', `org-latex-matrices-tree-filter',
and the corresponding transcoders.

We can introduce a special ox-ascii-specific object `object-with-note'
that will be exported by ox-ascii according to
`org-ascii-links-to-notes' settings. Then, we can transform link objects
into `object-with-note' that will later be used in
`org-ascii--describe-links'.

WDYT?
