Actually, I took a look through the code and found out that

elisp:customize

should also work as a link, even without the brackets. The assumption is
that the name following the ``elisp:'' part is the name of an
interactive function (a "command"). Following the link just executes the
command (without arguments - you can't use plain links for function
calls with arguments).  I tried it and it works for me - so the question
is why it does not work for you.
