Yes.  This might especially be useful in modes where people use
orgstruct as well -- and could well end up being part of orgstruct,
if that's not too invasive.

Simply use

(unless (derived-mode-p 'org-mode)

on the top of your function?

Also, you might want to check `org-fontify-like-in-org-mode': for any
regexp (including links) that you find in your buffer, you can fontify
it like in org-mode.
