I've been using my solution over the last month+, but with a
modification for cases of links with embedded percent signs. That
happens when for instance a URL wasnt to have an embedded space or other
character. The result is that the elisp function 'message' misinterprets
that as a format field.
(defun my-org-mode-post-command-hook ()
"Show POINT's \"help-echo\" information in the echo area.
This could be information about an org-link at POINT, or some other
data."
(let ((message-log-max)) ; suppress output to *Messages* buffer
(ignore-errors
(message "%s" (url-unhex-string (get-text-property (point) 'help-echo))
nil t))))
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'my-org-mode-hook)
