Agree. At least not until we find a clearly better variant. Yet, I do not like the current state of things. Especially with regards to mixing emphasis and hidden parts of links. Situations like in /A link [[https://orgmode.org/?oops=true][Org Mode]] or like reported in https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87pmtqp79s....@web.de/ can be very hard to notice and cause "mysterious" Org failures. >> +Sometimes, when marked text also contains the marker character itself, >> +the result may be unsettling.

Applied. Best, Ihor
