Hello,
I would like to add a new link type to org-mode. Following the example
in the manual it is a very easy task. However I would like to customize
how the link is visualized, specifically I would like a link like
"[[foo:bar]]" to be visualized simply as "bar" where the protocol type
has been hidden (same effect I would obtain with a link in the form
"[[foo:bar][bar]]".
Is it possible to hook somehow into org-mode to have that transformation
done, or there is an easy way to accomplish that?
Thank you!
Cheers,
Daniele

Hi John, I'm fine using [[foo:bar][bar]], but it is much longer to type. Slightly changing my question: there is a way to instruct org-insert-link to derive a default value for the description from the path? I had a look at the code, and it does not seem so. Thanks!

If it is not possible to teach org-insert-link to do that, it would be an useful addition, I think. It looks like it is possible to hook into org-store-link to derive a description from the link type and path, but the same is not possible with org-insert-link. I may propose a patch to add this.
