I am proposing a new property which currently available software of
course does not support.  If we promote it, maybe programmers of these
other modes will like it enough to support it.

I think that the help-echo text is not a robust way to detect URLs.  For
example, org-mode's help-echo text is "LINK: url", someone else will use
just the URL, others will translate "link", and yet others will not use
help-echo at all.

Modes need a reliable way to tell htmlize (and other interesting
parties) about URI references in the buffer.  A property seems like an
obvious way to do so, and I'd prefer the property not to be specific to
htmlize.
