I was planning on exporting each file individually. (It's the main goal,
actually, as exporting the whole thing is taking too long.)

My problem is links. To give a concrete example, here is the file I want
to split in two:

* A headline
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CUSTOM_ID: head1
  :END:

This is the first file.

* Second headline

The first headline is number [[#head1]]


How do I change the link in the second headline so that I can split the
second headline into its own file and export it by itself? Right now it
cannot resolve the link. Maybe a solution would be to create a custom
link with different ways to export it…

This is the plan, if I find out how to deal with links.

Yes, sorry for the confusion.

Best,
