Where do you see such links, in Emacs?

There is already face `link-visited', which is for visited links,
as opposed to face `link', which is for unvisited links.

And in Info, there is face `info-xref-visited', which is for visited
links, as opposed to `info-xref', which is for unvisited links.

For another context, Emacs could do something similar.  What is
the face you see now, for the links you are interested in?  Is it
`link'? `custom-link'?

No doubt it is the context (mode) where you are clicking the link
that needs to DTRT: use a visited-link face after you use a link.
What is that context?
