During my use case I don't care what URL the link opens. I want to
know if there are brackets and even better when I know whether they
are case 1 or 3/4.

Good to know, I didn't (or forgot?).

My use case is different, see above, and I don't like to move point or
mouse for my use case. I would like to have a visual indication like
with org-descriptive-links nil which leads to this thought:
Probably better than more faces would be to render case 1 like with
org-descriptive-links t and case 3/4 like with org-descriptive-links
nil. What would be the recommended way to do this? Could that become a
new value beside the current t and nil for org-descriptive-links?
