Tridactyl does let filter links like that with `:set hintfiltermode vimperator` and `:set hintchars 1234567890`.
Vim Vixen unfortunately has been unmaintained since May [1]. If anyone knows ueokande personally, could they let him know that I would be happy to help get some releases out? I sent an email yesterday but I am not optimistic as it seems like quite a few people have tried over the last few months.

Hmm, was it opening with a different file encoding before?
You can `:set editorcmd` to something that gives gVim more commands, like is mentioned in this issue: https://github.com/tridactyl/native_messenger/issues/18
