Hello there!
Consider the sentence
"This is a [[link]]."
in a document with a "<<link>>" target.
Org exports the sentence to HTML as
"This is a No description for this link."
and to PDF as
"This is a ."
How about we export it as
"This is a link."
where the word "link" is the actual link?
WDYT?

Confirmed.

I think that we may need to introduce a customization for default link
description. Some backends hard-code the default description to
something non-trivial and some just use arbitrary fallback like ???
(ox-ascii), "No description" (ox-html), or "" (ox-latex).

I wonder, why not export [[link]] to <<link>> as "link" by default, if
no description is given, as is the case with URLs, Elisp, and the like?
And if that is not desirable, would the new customization allow for
doing that?
I am asking the second question because I am still hoping to solve my
problem with the impracticality of [[Literal link][literal link]]s in
densely linked text, as explained in my other thread. If Org could
export [[link]] to <<link>> as "link", and offered a STARTUP for literal
links, then that would fix my problem for good.
Thank you!
Rudy

Yes, something like that.
The main problem is how to properly design
this - the current approach is that individual backends decide. And we
have no control over third-party backends...

If it were possible to customize fuzzy links through
`org-link-parameters' then Rudolf would be able to easily try if
proposed changes are feasible and to debug them in real life cases
before adding them to Org code.

I am afraid that supporting `org-link-parameters' for built-in link
types is much harder to implement compared to addressing the <<target>>
description problem.
