It would be nice to have an [[Org mode link]]
# in a line that is [[commented]] and still
be able to see that link. Currently, there is no visual indication
that the link exists, although it still does work.

It works as a convenience feature. However, I don't think we should
publicize it much, as a comment is first and foremost, dead data.

To me comments are mainly things that don't get exported. I don't
know what you mean by "dead", but comments are certainly "data",
and data is not dead. Their utility and data density is reduced if
they can't contain links (or I can't see that the link is there,
which is sort-of the same thing).
When writing a document it is useful to leave informal notes to
myself that say "see X" where X is an external file, or a section
(or some code) elsewhere in this document, etc.
This can be done with "#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE :exports none", or
"**SECTION :noexport:", but both of those are awful hacks when a
single line or a few words are all that is needed.
-k.

Comments are much more than that. They also deactivate the syntax (which
is what I call "dead" syntax).

They cannot contain link, nor anything else. However, the feature you
describe above was deemed useful enough that `org-open-at-point'
sloppily opens anything looking like a link (or a timestamp) within
a comment.
However, there is, per syntax, no link there, and I don't think it
should be fontified.

AUCTeX has a variable named `LaTeX-syntactic-comments' :
,----
| User option: If non-nil comments will be handled according to LaTeX
| syntax.
`----
In AUCTeX, it is mainly about filling and indentation, but in Org it
could mean "let the usual (interactive) commands pretend we're not in a
comment". If Org is to adopt such a variable, it could fontify
according to what the interactive commands will do.
Would that be acceptable ? It could be made a minor mode.

It would certainly be acceptable to me...

This is orthogonal to the current problem. `org-open-at-point' already
pretends it is not in a comment, but the OP is asking for special
fontification.
> Would that be acceptable ? It could be made a minor mode.
I don't know what are "the usual (interactive) commands", so I cannot
tell. However, it sounds like a can of worms, and should probably be
done on a case by case basis, like `org-open-at-point' currently does.

I was suggesting to put these two worms in the same can, which could be
opened by turning org-syntactic-comments-mode on, where all the hideous
special-casing could be done instead of the org core.

Tbh, I'm not sure what the others are either. Maybe links are the only
syntactic elements which make sense inside comments, so there isn't
anything else beyond org-open-at-point. If that is the case, I'm just
making noise for no reason -- sorry about that.
Nicolas.

with org-mouse, i sometimes click in the middle of a comment and get
surprised that a link opened.

That shouldn't happen, at least in development version. If you can
reproduce it, please send an ECM.

thank you. it is maint, so it's probably fine in master.
btw, my only concern with semantic footnote highlighting is that i
just cannot get used to only allowing a single paragraph in inline
[unlike non-inline where multiple paragraphs are ok]. i have a filter
to fix that that you kindly provided, but it would look awful if they
were not highlighted as footnotes.
