In cases like that there would be some key sequence that parses the
text and the text properties around point and produces a sexp that
goes to the target of the link when executed. Let me call that sexp
the "back-end" of the link.

I did play with some ways to buttonize back-end sexps, and with some
ways to parse the text around point to generate these back-end sexps,
but I didn't find those things much fun, and in all the cases I ended
up finding nice ways to solve my problems with just explicit sexps,
without hiding them behind a title. So I postponed the problem behind
your question - and I will deal with it again when someone who wants
"back-end sexps hidden behind titles" asks me for help, or asks me to
work together on their ideas.

Yes, and I am working in a way to do that that requires fewer keys. I
submitted it to the EmacsConf2022:

and I am asking my friends to test it. I haven't made commented
screenshots for it - like these ones:

yet, so right now the best way to understand how it works is to try
the "Try:"s in the sections 1 and 8 of its docs:
