Hi Bastien,

TLDR: remove ?\= from org-link-escape-chars.

I looked at this again and I think I've stumbled on another small issue 
relating to hex escaping. 

If I type a link with an equals sign (=) into the link prompt of 
org-insert-link, the link inserted into my buffer has a %3D instead of the 
valid =. 

Tracing this, it goes through org-make-link-string, which hands off to 
org-link-escape which uses the defconst org-link-escape-chars as the table of 
values to escape. Org-link-escape-chars appears to only be used within 
org-link-escape at this time.

I think = is escaped because it may have conflicted with the verbatim syntax at 
some point, but that doesn't appear to be an issue any more. 

Is there a reason not to remove it?
