I'd rather have something simple.

Here are some suggestions.

1. Replace "\\[\\[\\([^][]+\\)\\]\\(\\[\\([^][]+\\)\\]\\)?\\]"
   (`org-bracket-link-regexp') with
   "\\[\\[\\([^\000]+?\\)\\]\\(\\[\\([^\000]+?\\)\\]\\)?\\]". This gives
   more possibilities. We will just live with the unsupported cases
   (e.g. square brackets at the end of the path or the description).

2. Use good ole backslash character to escape ambiguous characters (even
   though any character can be escaped). `org-link-unescape' would take
   care of them instead of url-encoded characters.

3. A mix of both. `org-bracket-link-regexp' could become more
   complicated though.

I'm open to other suggestions, as long as they do not massively impede
manual editing.

Regards,
