You might check out my scimax-editmarks package. You can create bracket syntax like that which can be fontified, e.g. made smaller, lighter, etc. to de-emphasize. It is not org-syntax, and uses a pre-processing step on export, but if all you want is visual syntax in org-mode, something like this might be what you are looking for. The details are in this video description, and you can see what it looks like and does here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBmvBkpzixs
