Hi Grant,

At the moment there's no direct support for [description] for any
variables in KOMA letters generated through Org.  What is the use-case
here?

The default description is "Url" and it does not have a corresponding
"symbolicname".

In general, descriptors are used in headers or footers which would
typically be set up in a separate LCO file, I’d guess.  E.g.

      \ifkomavarempty{fromurl}{}{\usekomavar*{fromurl}\usekomavar{fromurl}}

This should be done for all komavars if it was to be added IMO.

Thanks,
Rasmus
