For some link types it would be nice to hide the link prefix automatically. This post does this with text properties, but I'd prefer if it was possible to do with something like prettify-symbols or compose region. The closest I got was...
(defun my/activate-link (start end path bracketp &optional icon)
"Compose icons before links"
(save-excursion
(if org-descriptive-links
(compose-region start (1+ start) (concat icon " "))
(org-link-apply-face start end)
)
))
(org-link-set-parameters "menu" :activate-func (lambda (start end path bracketp) (my/activate-link start end path bracketp "\uf0c9")))
I realize this is only fontifying the first two characters of the link. I want to add in a keyword parameter to the arguments list of the function, but that I don't know how to get compose region to find the beginning and end of that keyword.
