This is an interesting concept. As a related concept we could add a command/key binding that unhides the entity at point /on demand/, by updating the overlay's properties (first bringing it there if it's not yet). That would be very straightforward. I can see that being useful especially for links with `bracket' on `org-highlight-links', since that hides the link text too, which is otherwise hard to edit. It would be like `org-toggle-link-display', except: 1. It would work only for the entity you are "inside", and 2. It would self-disable when you moved out. I would probably use that some. I'll play with it.
