In the original context , if i understand you, it looks
as simple text with a different face and underlined.

Thanks for the idea of using thing-at-point.

I'm also checking Invisible Text .

Here is the fuction that toggleis org links display:
(defun org-toggle-link-display ()
  "Toggle the literal or descriptive display of links."
  (interactive)
  (if org-link-descriptive (remove-from-invisibility-spec '(org-link))
    (add-to-invisibility-spec '(org-link)))
  (org-restart-font-lock)
  (setq org-link-descriptive (not org-link-descriptive)))

buffer-invisibility-spec seems to hold invisible text.


Alexandros.
