Aloha Kyle,
Barring a guru's user-end customization, Rasmus's figure
:environment attribute idea is a good one.
The LaTeX float package has a facility to create and name
environments that are handled like figures. A figure :environment
attribute in Org mode would provide a straightforward and flexible
path to transcode them.
Thanks for looking into this.
Let me know if you have questions.
All the best,
Tom

This patch produces a LaTeX environment, marginfigure, that

then
one of these packages should be added to the list of default
LaTeX
packages so ox-latex doesn't export code it is unable to
compile.
My takeaway from the discussion surrounding ox-tufte-latex
several
years ago is that support for non-standard LaTeX constructs
should
not be part of Org mode core because they complicate
maintenance
unduly.
Thanks for your input and the helpful summary. The stance in
the second
paragraph sounds like a sensible one.
Given the desire to use the marginfigure environment has popped
up a few
times, I wonder if an ox-latex guru can suggest a user-end
customization
that would enable the use of that environment. I suppose an
alternative
is Rasmus's proposal of an :environment attribute for figures

mentioned in a sibling thread.
