Hi Lennart,
(I'm copying the Orgmode mailing list because it helps to get people's
opinion on such ideas...)

Org already lets you create links from nearly anywhere in Emacs.
What would such a minor mode do?

`org-store-link' can handle HTML and elisp files okay.

You can of course insert links in Org-mode files. Is your idea about
inserting links outside of Org-mode files? Can you give an example?

I think I need more background on what are the main features of
linkd.el and mlinks.el -- and what are the ones you miss in Org...
Thanks for further clarifications :)

Not sure if this is apropos to this conversation, but I've been thinking
for some time that it would be useful to have a minor mode which would
activate org-style links in non-org files. For example if an org link
in the comment section of a source-code document could be highlighted
and activated so that the C-c C-o keybinding can be used to follow said
link. -- Eric

That is exactly what I am thinking of.
But the key binding could perhaps be rethought. Beside that I would
want som unification of link handling where it is possible. Things to
uniffy are for example:
- Mouse handling
- Keyboard keys
- Opening in windows/frames
- Opening in external apps
- Moving between links
- Coordination with moving between widget and buttons (like "tab
stops" in common GUIs)
- Link faces
- Link information

Now I understand. Maybe someone can grab some code from Org and try to
write a minimal implementation of this.
