Even pandoc is not perfect (at least not really consistent):

printf '%s' '- [[https://orgmode.org/][Lorem :: Ipsum]]' \
   | pandoc -f org -t html
<dl>
<dt>[[<a href="https://orgmode.org/">https://orgmode.org/</a>][Lorem</dt>
<dd>Ipsum]]
</dd>
</dl>

Default zero-width workaround does not work for e.g. for code snippets 
since it would break syntax of target programming language:

printf '%s' '- src_haskell{monoidBSFold :: FilePath -> IO Counts}' \
   | pandoc -f org -t html
