Hi Stefan and Juri,

reviving an old bug that continues to bug me.

The very frequent use-case I have is with (setq search-invisible t)
when I try to query-replace a string that's within an org-mode link.

I wish the content of the link could be displayed.

I guess this solution, though nice, is tricky to implement.  And
thinking about this again, I'd be fine with buffer-invisibility-spec
set to nil temporarily.

What do you think?  If you're okay with the buffer-invisibility-spec
solution, shall I go ahead and try to implement it?

Thanks,
