Yes, I do, but this is not what I'm looking for.  I want to see the
`descriptive' links, only to be able (sometimes) to look up the actual
target of the link.  (And I don't like the idea of moving the point to
the end, pressing <backspace> to delete the rightmost bracket, and then
pressing C-\ to undo it...)
