Re: org-insert-link completion by description (Re: what is the purpose of "This link has already been stored"?)

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

the copletions window dos notc ontain the link dscription or a
default.  there is no tdeafult listed in minibuffer or any tlink
description.  so it is 1 orig buffer, which is saller and therefoere
lss useful, 1 links buffer, which is useless beause does not show what
i need, 1 copletions buffer which is useollss befause all it shows is
url prefixes, and a minibuffer which shows nothing.
