Link parameters are meant to be used with "scheme:path" links. However,
we forbid internal link types, as writing [[fuzzy:whatever]] would be
confusing for Org. As a consequence, link parameters are not meant to
control internal links.

We might need a different variable specific to internal links, but in
the current case, using `font-lock-add-keywords' should be sufficient.
