C-h .

Displaying links in minibuffer is regularly discussed here. E.g. the 
following message has a link to an older thread therein
https://orgmode.org/list/rjddg8$c9f$1@ciao.gmane.io/

Sometimes I think of something like footnotes or margin notes 
representation for links in the visible part of the buffer. Unsure 
however if it would be really convenient and feasible. Unlike with 
literal links option, long URLs should not distort paragraphs but no 
additional action is required to view link target.
