I have to confess I'm the second one :-) After a little experimentation, I ended up with the results shown in these screenshots [1] [2]. The code can be found on github [3]. Currently, it is not based on overlays, like David's linkd.el, but on display properties. It is still unclear which of the approach is the best, but as David offered his help and is by far more skilled in elisp than I, hopefully these kind of implementation details will be solved quickly and the code will become actually useable. As for the icons, I make them from scratch using Inkscape and the Tango [4] colour palette. So, what do you think ? Is this a direction you'd want org-mode to go ? Please, share your feedback & suggestions ! Also, I was thinking that putting such kind of screenshots in org-mode's website could make us gain a little more votes...
