Translating links to external files - best way to achieve?

[julian-hoch]

Besides the generated files markdown from org files (using ox-hugo), my site also has some generated markdown files that were created from JavaScript files using jsdoc-to-markdown. They work fine, but now I want to create links from my org-files to the js files, and have those links show up in the hugo site (while still working in org).
I am wondering, what is the best way to achieve this? So far, I found this approach: https://kisaragi-hiu.com/links-in-both-hugo-and-org/
However, this adds an advice to org-element-link-parser, so not sure if this is the best way. As an alternative I thought about creating a script that directly does a search-and-replace on the created markdown files and adjusts them after ox-hugo runs - also not very elegant.
Any other ideas? Does ox-hugo have any built-in ways to modify org-links before they are inserted into the md file? In my case it would be something like

~/path/to/my/JavaScriptClass.js => content/api/some-folder-depending-on-path/javascriptclass.md
