IIUC, you want fontification to make it obvious there are square
brackets in links, so that you know when they can be removed, for
improved readability outside Org.

If I'm correct, why don't you write a function that normalizes links for
you, so you don't have to bother, e.g., something that turns [[URL]]
into URL unless URL contains parenthesis or spaces?
