I am proposing a new property which currently available software of
course does not support.  If we promote it, maybe programmers of these
other modes will like it enough to support it.

I think that the help-echo text is not a robust way to detect URLs.  For
example, org-mode's help-echo text is "LINK: url", someone else will use
just the URL, others will translate "link", and yet others will not use
help-echo at all.

Modes need a reliable way to tell htmlize (and other interesting
parties) about URI references in the buffer.  A property seems like an
obvious way to do so, and I'd prefer the property not to be specific to
htmlize.

I see.  So (thing-at-point 'url) would return the url/uri depending on
that 'uri-ref property.  But as far as I've understood, thing-at-point
does not rely on properties -- am I wrong?

Unless such a property can be used with thing-at-point (for `browse-url'
and other commands), I'd rather put the burden of finding the proper ref
to htmlize, based on the help-echo area... 

What do you think?
