Org-mode could use those under the hood. I think this is very much related to a similar problem that bug-reference-mode tries to solve. Certain patterns can mean certain things, does something match the pattern -> buttonize. Most modes roll their own thing of such a system e.g. Circe, Gnus, Bug-reference-mode. If there was a generalized system it could make it easier to configure. The caveat is that some modes could have trouble using a generalized solution for this either because of their own historic structure (e.g. Gnus) or because it does not work for a specific modes structure e.g. when the link contains mode specific syntax. E.g. Org-Links with ID properties would not work unless properties are understood by other modes, much is woven into the org structure. I think the best solution would be to add generalized helper functions that modes can use but not to try to intercept the modes inner workings by adding a custom mode on top. However in instances where there is no special markup such a minor-mode could work and would be very helpful to support instances where there's a syntax in a syntax such as in programming comment lines. Sooner or later this will get us to having another Outline or Outshine mode.
