With my proposal, it would become

However, "sec" link type will still not be listed in the output
`org-link-types' (not registered).
Then, ox.el and other link processing code, when encountering a link
type that is not registered, will fall back to searching "fuzzy" link.
So, export, and following the link should not be affected.
I do not see which way it may help in the reported case of complications
with URI schemes not enabled by default. What is the purpose of parser
changes if links can not be exported or opened?
I am unsure if any "PREFIX:" should be recognized as a link type, but
there is another possibility on this way: allow users to mark some
prefixes as search links, not link types.
Taking into account requests to enable more URI schemes by default,
requiring to explicitly disable some prefixes may be acceptable
compromise. It may be necessary even if fixed set of link types is
allowed by default instead of arbitrary prefix.
Changes of behavior disturbs a part of users, but strictly adhering
backward compatibility means inconvenience for others.
