Well, i run emacs on a terminal most of the time, so tooltips don't work
for me. As for echoing, yes, that'd work, but it's somewhat orthogonal
to the marking feature, the point of the latter being knowing the kind
of one or more links before going there. But it seems i'm the only one
finding that useful :), so i guess i'll hack something around
org-activate-bracket-links. Thanks for the tip!

Cheers,
