Thanks! Your version is indeed cleaner. I updated the patch. It uses
your version now with one group specification that I missed earlier. I
also added tests from your email, the post introducing regexp, and few
more examples I came up with.

I am testing the new regexp for a few days now. Because the regexp is
quite complex and because font-lock apparently fontifies even invisible
(folded) text, loading time on large org files with many links became
noticeably longer. Though it was 7.2Mb file with ~13k links in it.

Best,
