pandoc to pdf: how to synchronize files output by package ?

Hi,

I use a package that reads and writes files to synchronize counters.
The package is custom but it is based on this question: 
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/124103/how-to-create-a-fixed-counter.

The result is that I need to input files:
\InputIfFileExists{\jobname.notes}{}{}

And output files:
\immediate\openout\jjdbout=\jobname.notes
\immediate\write\jjdbout{\unexpanded\expandafter{\jjdbnotes}}

The problem is that I cannot keep track of this file, as pandoc runs 
pdflatex in a temporary directory.

The hacks I tried:
- write somewhere else but pdflatex correctly prevents that,
- using \write18 to execute some commands, but in that case I don't know 
the  temporary path to synchronize my files to ; I thought it was in 
TEXMFOUTPUT, but this env variable only points to the first run started by 
pandoc (so it's okay to put the files there beforehand, but not to fetch 
the updated versions),
- using \write18 and the package currfile, but if I understood correctly, 
currfile relies on files already existing so I cannot know to which path I 
have to put my files before hand.

Is there something I missed to copy files to output before pandoc calls the 
pdf engine and fetch files after it finished?
How could we do that?

Thanks,
Best,

A possible solution would be to use Pandoc to produce the TeX file, then process the TeX file yourself with LaTeX.

Thanks, however with this solution I cannot use pandoc's prerendering of 
some types of images (such as svg, or url which are downloaded at compile 
time).
