Honestly? I'd say don't reinvent the wheel. Underlined links with the changing cursor and/or clickable buttons are what the user expects, so give it to them.
I would, but I want an entire paragraph (title header + body) to be clickable. It looks pretty bad if the entire thing is underlined, and just underlining the header makes it look like a decoration and not a link. The cursor does change but there's no cursor on a touchscreen.
