This would definitely be an improvement, thanks.

This was my first idea, but then `isearch-toggle-invisible' needs
to cycle through _three_ states instead of two, which deviates from
other toggle commands.

If such cycling is fine, I'm all for this change.

I consider this a bug, because anyone trying to replace text within
an Org bracket link will not reach the URL.

E.g. replacing "www" by "ftp" is currently not possible in

  [[http://gnu.org][GNU]]

you have to manually turn visible-mode on.
