Here you go. To use, add orgl-enable to the relevant mode-hook, eg:
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'orgl-enable)

--------

(defface orgl-target-face
 '((t (:foreground "cyan" :background "royalblue4" :weight normal)))
;;  '((t (:weight bold :box (:line-width 1 :color "red"))))
  "The face used to emphasise org-mode <<targets>>.")
(make-face 'orgl-target-face)
(setq orgl-target-face 'orgl-target-face)


(defvar *orgl-link-abbrevs*
  '((lisp-mode ("defun" . "(defun %s (")
               ("class" . "(defclass %s (")
               ("wwdoc" . "file:../TODO::%s")))
  "Define link abbreviations for each major mode.
The variable contains a list, each element of which has the
form (MAJOR-MODE (ABBREV . EXPANSION) .....)
ABBREV is a short string. Links of the form '[[ABBREV:TEXT]]' will
be expanded into EXPANSION. See the documentation for
org-link-abbrev-alist for more details.")


(defun orgl-do-font-lock (add-or-remove)

  (funcall add-or-remove nil '((org-activate-bracket-links (0 'org-link t))))

  "Enable fontification of org-style hyperlinks in the current buffer."
