Comments are much more than that. They also deactivate the syntax (which is what I call "dead" syntax). * Headline # SCHEDULED: <2015-02-24 Tue> (org-entry-get nil "SCHEDULED") => nil > Their utility and data density is reduced if they can't contain links > (or I can't see that the link is there, which is sort-of the same > thing). > > When writing a document it is useful to leave informal notes to myself > that say "see X" where X is an external file, or a section (or some > code) elsewhere in this document, etc. They cannot contain link, nor anything else. However, the feature you describe above was deemed useful enough that `org-open-at-point' sloppily opens anything looking like a link (or a timestamp) within a comment. However, there is, per syntax, no link there, and I don't think it should be fontified. Regards,
