Hi, One featurette that i would find useful is the possibility of distinguising link types visually: for instance, having the link text overlay display an additional mark (say, a * or a fancy unicode arrow) when it is an http[s] or ftp link (as opposed to a link to a local file, email, etc.). If providing the basic functionality is not difficult, one can think of additional customizability like associating different markers to different protocols and so on.
On a related note, it would also be useful to have a mode or command to see the URL of the current link echo-ed in the minibuffer. I currently use a quick-and-dirty command for that (it also puts the link in the kill ring for convenience): (defun jao-org-copy-link-at-point () (interactive) (if (thing-at-point-looking-at "\\[\\[\\([^]]+\\)\\]\\[[^]]+\\]\\]") (let ((link (substring-no-properties (match-string 1)))) (kill-new link) (message "%s" link)) (message "No link at point"))) (define-key org-mode-map "\C-cv" 'jao-org-copy-link-at-point) but this doesn't work as an 'show link in the mini-buffer, in the sense that i have to press C-cv to see the link. What do you think?
