Re: [FR] Should we resolve environment variables in the file link path when exporting? (was: [FR] Please add environment variable substitution in `org-display-inline-images')

I think we need keep consistent with the file link. Since file link will 
substitute the environment variables in its file path, I guess it will 
do the same thing when export to html files. It may keep the variables 
when export to Org (ox-org). Since both image link and file link are 
links, from user's perspective they should be consistent.
