I don't use prettify-symbols-mode, but I am a fairly heavy user of
AUCTeX's TeX-fold-mode, which hides all sorts of LaTeX code (and
can be customised to hide even more in quite sophisticated ways).
For example, it shows
This is some \textit{emphasised} text.
as
This is some emphasised text.
with the word "emphasised" in a different colour (to indicate that
it's been folded) and with whatever fontification the argument of
the \textit macro gets (italicised by default).
Now, TeX-fold-mode has the behaviour you mention: as soon as you
move point (not the mouse cursor) "into" some folded text, it gets
unfolded (with | indicating point):
This is some |\textit{emphasised} text.
with the part "\textit{emphasised}" highlighted to indicate that
it's actuall folded.
Personally, I'm a *big* fan of this behaviour, even though I use
visual-line-mode in my LaTeX buffers, which means that when text
is temporarily unfolded, the paragraph may rewrap (and wrap back
when point leaves the unfolded text causing it to be folded
again). Since there is visual feedback (from the font colour) that
some word or stretch of text is folded, I know that the text will
unfold when I move point into it, so I don't find it distracting.
The fact that the rest of the paragraph may rewrap is also not an
issue for me, because I'm not actually focussing on that part of
the text.
Personally, I've also always found it annoying in Org that editing
around links (or emphasis etc. with `org-hide-emphasis-markers'
set to t) is unpredictable and I never really understood why
functionality similar to TeX-fold-mode hadn't been implemented. I
thinks it's a very straightforward and easy to understand method
for indicating which character point is actually on, making
editing much more comfortable.
Just my €0.02, of course.
