Ah, nice -- too bad there's no built-in way to specify a face for link types. This looks like it will do nicely, though! > otherwise, I think item 4 is the most important one on the todo list.

I also thought of a command that would take what's in the tabulated list buffer and convert it into an Org-mode buffer, with the text/comment pairs in a two-column table. Then the user could export that buffer into some other format and share a "comments sheet" with other people. A bit at a time...
