Hi John, Eric,

Thanks for the replies.

I will try out the highlight-regexp trick today.

The point I was trying to make was not that we should highlight links even
in comments (though that was my suggested alternative). The main point I
wanted to make was that links should not get hidden in comments.

If highlighting links in comments is not suggested, then at least we should
make them visible as,

# some [[link][desc]]

Instead of

# some desc

The use case is where I would have some org-mode text with links
temporarily commented out. But in the commented state, I would not know if
that text hid any links because the links don't show expanded in the
commented text. And also they don't have a different face.

I will update later on what I see on using highlight-regexp. I think that
will work for me too.
