Is there a package or setting to show an org-mode link (under cursor) destination in the modeline or other area of Emacs window?

Question

Is there a package or setting to show an org-mode link (under cursor - without using the mouse) destination in the modeline or other area of Emacs window? It would be nice to have instead of doing C-c C-l to look at it each time.

Try this:

(defun link-message () 
  (let ((object (org-element-context)))
    (when (eq (car object) 'link)
      (message "%s"
           (org-element-property :raw-link object)))))

(add-hook 'post-command-hook 'link-message)
