Hey Nicolas,

Something like this?

    (defvar-local org-show-link--beg nil)
    (defvar-local org-show-link--end nil)

    (defun org-show-link--reveal-at-point (&rest _)
      "Possibly reveal link markup around point."
      (unless (and org-show-link--beg org-show-link--end)
        (setq org-show-link--beg (make-marker)
              org-show-link--end (make-marker)))
      (when (and (marker-position org-show-link--beg)
                 (marker-position org-show-link--end))
        (unless (<= org-show-link--beg (point) org-show-link--end)
          (save-excursion (font-lock-fontify-region org-show-link--beg org-show-link--end))
          (set-marker org-show-link--beg nil)
          (set-marker org-show-link--end nil)))
      (save-excursion
        (when (org-in-regexp org-bracket-link-regexp 1)
          (set-marker org-show-link--beg (match-beginning 0))
          (set-marker org-show-link--end (match-end 0))
          (with-silent-modifications
            (remove-text-properties (match-beginning 2) (1+ (match-beginning 2)) '(invisible))
            (remove-text-properties (1- (match-end 2)) (match-end 2) '(invisible)))))
      (message "%S" org-show-link--end))

    (defun org-show-link-setup ()
      (add-hook 'post-command-hook #'org-show-link--reveal-at-point t t))

    (add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'org-show-link-setup)

Running it before opening an Org buffer with links should be enough to make it work (links brackets will be hidden until point is next to or inside the link).  It's a quick draft, of course — there are still small issues.  But it should give an idea of what my original proposal was about.

Cheers,
Clément.
