* occur context lines - should they be part of the link?

When context lines (via prefix arg) are used for `occur', the entire block
of context lines plus match hit becomes a huge, single link (mouse-faced).
Is that a good thing, or would it be better to make only the match line a
link?
I tend to think that only matched lines should be linked - I think it would
be clearer. On the other hand, it is easier to select a block than just a
single hit line.
Opinions?

I think I agree.

A line is easy enough to hit. If context lines should be linked as
well, I'd have them linked individually, and let them jump to the
respective context line instead of the matched line.

I agree. But I think it is better if the context lines are not active.

I somehow missed David's message, but I too think it is better if context
lines are not active. - Drew
