Comments are much more than that. They also deactivate the syntax (which
is what I call "dead" syntax).

  * Headline
    # SCHEDULED: <2015-02-24 Tue>

  (org-entry-get nil "SCHEDULED") => nil

They cannot contain link, nor anything else. However, the feature you
describe above was deemed useful enough that `org-open-at-point'
sloppily opens anything looking like a link (or a timestamp) within
a comment.

However, there is, per syntax, no link there, and I don't think it
should be fontified.
