Neat idea.  IIUC, a read macro and something like funcall would do a lot
of the work.

I'd like to see something like this, so the Org-mode buffer could
reflect the underlying, possibly user-extended, semantics:

  $[link "http://mysite.example" :label "Example" :html-attr "..."
 :latex-attr "..." :org-attr "..."]

All the best,
Tom
