I am glad you mentioned, it was an inspiration! Although this is sure to
move away from a standard new syntax, it is straightforward to subvert a
link like the following example to get more readable pre/post text
example. The quotes are necessary to get the list read
correctly. Whether this is useful remains to be seen, but it was fun to
work it out.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results silent
(org-add-link-type
 "slink"
 ;;  follow function
 (lambda (path)
   (let* ((data (read (concat "(" path ")")))
          (head (car data))
          (plist (cadr data)))
     (message-box "%s\n%s\n%s" head plist  (plist-get plist :type))))
 ;; format function
 (lambda (path description backend)
   (let* ((data (read (concat "(" path ")")))
          (head (car data))
          (plist (cadr data)))
     (format "\\%s[%s][%s]{%s}"
             (plist-get plist :type)
             (plist-get plist :pre)
             (plist-get plist :post)
             head))))
#+END_SRC
