This sounds dangerous. Org mode can execute untrusted code, so this
could trick people into running untrusted code with the permissions of
their Emacs.

Links in org-mode can run shell scripts. Yes, they usually ask, but this
may be changed it a local Emacs, trusting that it will only be used to
open trusted local files.

The threat model of eww changes a lot when any file on the web can
request being opened with org-mode.

Best wishes,
