The other cases are equivalent, barring the limitation from case > 2. My use case is different, see above, and I don't like to move point or mouse for my use case. I would like to have a visual indication like with org-descriptive-links nil which leads to this thought: Probably better than more faces would be to render case 1 like with org-descriptive-links t and case 3/4 like with org-descriptive-links nil. What would be the recommended way to do this? Could that become a new value beside the current t and nil for org-descriptive-links? Michael
