Hi John, Eric,

Thanks for the replies.

I will try out the highlight-regexp trick today.

The point I was trying to make was not that we should highli= ght links even in comments (though that was my suggested alternative). The = main point I wanted to make was that links should not get hidden in comment= s.

If highlighting links in comments is not suggested, then at = least we should make them visible as,

# some [[link][desc]]

Instead of

# some desc

The use case is where I would have some org-mode text with l= inks temporarily commented out. But in the commented state, I would not kno= w if that text hid any links because the links don't show expanded in t= he commented text. And also they don't have a different face.

I will update later on what I see on using highlight-regexp.= I think that will work for me too.
