I saw your posting of 18:39... Reading this ML through Gmane, though.

I must admit I'm not hit -- yet? -- by your problem, as I "never" (I should
never say that) have links in my headings. So, what I would do, is jump to the
referenced heading (using RET or SPC) and activate it from there.

BTW, just to confirm, is it the same is the link is in the very first line
under a heading, and made visible from the agenda through `E':

    ┏━━━━
    ┃ E runs the command org-agenda-entry-text-mode, which is an interactive Lisp
    ┃ function in `org-agenda.el'.
    ┃ 
    ┃ It is bound to E, <menu-bar> <Agenda> <View> <Show some entry text>.
    ┃ 
    ┃ (org-agenda-entry-text-mode &optional ARG)
    ┃ 
    ┃ Toggle entry text mode in an agenda buffer.
    ┗━━━━

M-x boxquote, with custom settings.
