Re: [O] patch for custom colored links in org-mode

[John Kitchin]

Indeed, I based this approach off a patch Rasmus posted some time ago for colored blocks ;)

It is also similar to some other approaches in org-mode, e.g. the "org-%s-complete-link" functions.

I am ok with a single variable that is an a-list that combines face and display.

Would you consider expanding org-add-link-type like this to set those in the special variable?

(org-add-link-type "somename" 'click-func 'export-func :face some-face :display path)

You could always add them manually to the variable for links already defined somewhere else.

Duh. This totally eluded me.

I think it would be nice to find a decent UI for that feature, indeed.
With that naming convention rule, you get neither docstring nor
customization UI.

Of course, this is documented in the manual, but very often, looking at
defcustoms in a library is of invaluable help.
