well works, but is there an easy way to add a behaviour like in org-
mode?

I.e the hyperref is highlighted by a "mouse over" and a simple mouse-1
does the browse-url?

In Org-mode links have a special text-property  "mouse-face:
highlight" and I think this is achieved by the syntax highlighter.

So the more detailed question is:

  Can a minor mode expand the fontifying procedures of a major mode?
