I think you are looking for the :activate-func property of a link. What
you want is somewhat tricky though, how would you edit the link?

There is an example at
https://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2016/11/04/New-link-features-in-org-9/#org069cbfa

that might give you some ideas. You can use a 'display text property to
change the appearance, but you need some way to remove this if you want
to edit or see the original version.
