My bad. This should now be fixed.

Comments, by definition, are dead data. It just doesn't make sense to
expect to have an active link, or timestamp, or whatever inside. If you
put an active timestamp in a comment, you don't expect it to show in the
agenda, right?

If you need live non-exportable data, you can stuff it in a regular
drawer.

I think that if we reverted each buggy commit, we wouldn't be far from
the very first commit in Org.

Anyway, I suggest to either explain to me why opening the next link is
needed, so we can discuss on how to do it best, or implement the feature
yourself, as you intended to do a few minutes ago.

In any case, I don't see the need to trash the few hours of work
I invested already in this (well, almost) working function.
