Possible Duplicate:
How to make org syntax links in any emacs buffer look like in org-mode?

I would not mind using org-mode, but with non-asterisk headings. I asked that question in How can I use other heading styles like twiki —+ or mediawiki == h2 == in org-mode?

But the main thing I want is to “linkify” a buffer – a probably non-org-mode buffer.

E.g. make links such as [[file:/some/long/path][display name]] show just as something like “display name”, and clickable. Or just [[file:/some/path]], or the other link types org-mode supports.

Q: is there a way to get such link functionality in emacs, outside org-mode?

    I’ve just created an emacs minor mode that enables org style links in non-org-mode buffers. Still a work-in-progress but you can find it here: https://github.com/seanohalpin/org-link-minor-mode

    BTW, this question is a duplicate of How to make org syntax links in any emacs buffer look like in org-mode?
