Not sure if this is apropos to this conversation, but I've been thinking
for some time that it would be useful to have a minor mode which would
activate org-style links in non-org files.  For example if an org link
in the comment section of a source-code document could be highlighted
and activated so that the C-c C-o keybinding can be used to follow said
link. -- Eric
