Hi Juri,

Yes, I know.  I was not trying to navigate between links (I realized
it by a fluke).

But if you hide "See", the resulting wording will not make sense.

IMO, the problem is that you are seeing text in the buffer (and
therefore you think it belongs to the buffer), and yet you can't
search for it.

Besides, if you try to copy it and paste into another application, you
will also get an unexpected result (the pasted text will be the hidden
one).
