Ah, nice -- too bad there's no built-in way to specify a face for link
types. This looks like it will do nicely, though!

Cool, I'll start with that, then.
I also thought of a command that would take what's in the tabulated list
buffer and convert it into an Org-mode buffer, with the text/comment
pairs in a two-column table. Then the user could export that buffer into
some other format and share a "comments sheet" with other people.
A bit at a time...
