dired is an excellent tool!

What exactly are you imagining? org mode keybindings make sense within
an org file. I'm not sure what you expect to do in a dired buffer that
would use org mode keybindings?
Having said that, I do use org-store-link (globally bound to C-c l) all
the time in dired buffers.

By the way, Eric, thanks for your tip. I probably wouldn't found that org-store-link can be used in Dired. Combined with org-super-links and org-open-at-point, it makes it joyful.
You asked about what was I imagining, so I will share the configuration I have finished with (by now).
My imagination goes beyond, though, like using "r" and "l" to
"move" subdirectories one level down or up. Although maybe I would
never use it. As said, the keybindings I am using in Dired,
inspired many of them by org-mode keybindings:
;; Bind 'TAB' to toggle subtree visibility (cycle through
subdirectories)
(with-eval-after-load 'dired
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "TAB") 'dired-subtree-cycle))
;; Create a new directory (similar to 'M-RET' in Org-mode)
;; Existing Dired keybinding: '+' is used for
'dired-create-directory'
;; New keybinding: 'M-RET'
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "M-RET") 'dired-create-directory)
;; (org-speed-move-safe 'outline-up-heading) (similar to 'u' in
Org-mode for dired-subtree-up)
;; Existing Dired keybinding: 'u' for dired-unmark
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "u") 'dired-subtree-up)
;; Bind 's' to narrow the view to the current subdirectory
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "s") 'dired-subtree-narrow)
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "U") 'dired-unmark)
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "C-g") 'dired-unmark-all-marks)
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "N") 'dired-next-line)
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "C-<return>")
'dired-w32explore)
