You don't really need a "batch option" with OO/LO; just write your script, allowing it to accept (@ARGV or a list in a file) multiple docs which names/fullpaths it then feeds to OO.

UPDATE: PS. You can write offsite links here as "[http://www.foo/bar.htm]" and, for PM nodes, as "[id://977242]." In the latter case, that's especially preferred, so you don't inadvertently logout a reader following your node on say, PM.org by a link to PM.com.
