org-open-at-point-global can work outside Org to open Org links.

For Org-like fontification, you can add an entry to font-lock-keywords
that will fontify anything matching org-link-any-re and apply
org-activate-links. However, you may need to rewrite org-activate-link
to work outside Org mode. It should not be prohibitively hard.

(I suspect that Hyperbole could be the right place to request the
fontification feature - they already take care about fontification of
implicit buttons; may as well extend it)
