Possibly - that depends on whether any user would ever want to create
links which fired up more than one MUA; otherwise the choice of MUA
could be set with a defcustom. I can't think of a use case for the
former, and the latter seems cleaner (and means that if you change MUA
you don't have to do a search/replace on all your links), but no doubt
someone will think of an opposing argument.
Personal plea: please bear in mind those of us who use MUAs not based
in emacs! For example, my preferred action when following a mairix
link is to pop up a fresh xterm with `mutt -f $mairix_folder' running
inside it.

Agreed.

This leads to the other point I wanted to make, although its scope is
possibly too great for this list: I would greatly prefer any such
solution to allow hyperlinking from within other modes - muse in
particular. Perhaps this could be done via orgstruct, or maybe the
org and muse camps could get together and agree to standardize on a
single syntax for hyperlinking, e.g. implemented via a shared minor
mode. Wishful thinking? I don't know, but it does strike me that
there is some duplication of effort across not just org and muse,
but also browse-url.el and possibly others.
Incidentally, I think it's great that org-mode already uses URL-like
locators for external links. This would be a good foundation for a
unification project.
