All the examples above are not valid links.
Note that Org link consist of link itself and a description:
[[link][description]].

Formatting links is meaningless. The fact that they are sometimes
formatted is simply a limitation of our current fontification engine (it
will be changed in future).

Descriptions will be correctly formatted.

[[https://orgmode.org][/italic/]] should work just fine.
