Currently, link abbreviations are explicitly allowed in bracket links
and only bracket links.
The currently available way to force tel: link type is using angle
links:
<tel:555-555-5555>
No special #+link keyword is needed in the above example.

The most annoying part is that we have three not fully consistent link
markups:
http://plain-link.com
<http://angle-link.com>
[[http://bracket-link.com]]
The plain link only works for `org-link-types' - registered link types.
The angle link works all the time, unconditionally parsing <foo:bar>
with "foo" being link type and "bar" being link path. Abbreviations are ignored.
The bracket link works only for `org-link-types' __and__ link
abbreviations. If whatever inside brackets is not matching know link
type or abbreviation, it is considered a fuzzy link.
As you see, the situation might easily get confusing in corner cases.
My proposal aims to extend the bracket link a bit - the most commonly
used link type. However, it creates a problem with fuzzy links.
Even more problematic is plain link type where any kind of open syntax
will likely clash with normal text flow with innocent text like A:B
being suddenly considered a link.
