One short-term solution would be to use the same function to fontify
links and cites. I.e., "org.el" could define
`org-activate-cites-and-links', which in turn, would dispatch work to
either `org-activate-links' or `org-cite-activate'.

A long-term solution would be to apply fontification on top of parsed
data exclusively. IIRC, I think Ihor started to work on something like
this, but I don't know about the current state of that project.
