All the examples above are not valid links. Note that Org link consist of link itself and a description: [[link][description]]. Formatting links is meaningless. The fact that they are sometimes formatted is simply a limitation of our current fontification engine (it will be changed in future). Descriptions will be correctly formatted. [[https://orgmode.org][/italic/]] should work just fine. Best, Ihor
