Org-link font size in the heading

Question

I often use org-links in headings, e.g.:

*** Heading [[foo]]
**** Subheading [[bar]]

And I use different font-sizes for different levels.

Now, I would like the face of the link to be of the same font-size as the heading's. Is that possible?

I tried using :inherit but that's not working.

Answer 1

I think the org-link face is set exclusively not in addition to other faces.

And there is only a fixed reference point for :inherit.

There would either

1. have to be a context sensitive :inherit or
2. different faces for the context, like with the org-level faces. There is org-level-1, org-level-2 and so forth. But there are no separate faces for org-link-level-1, org-link-level-2

You could probably

use a custom font-lock keyword function that programmatically applies colors to org tags based on location
