Yes, sure. So matches further down have to be made visible, e.g., by
excluding lines/links that don't match the current input string. That
is, `f i' might not show the ImageMagick link already but further typing
`f imag' probably does.

Agreed. I just wanted to point out that narrowing down to show only
lines with links that match a given input in a dynamic as-you-type
manner looks feasible. Of course, it would still be nice to have
conkeror-style numbers and the first matching link selected.

Yeah, cool.
Bye,
