I can not claim to have been clear enough, hope to make it clearer below.

Agreed.

Only when I can see the brackets of case 3 in Org rendered as
: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter]]
I know that I can change it to
: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter
for a cleaner view in non-Org tools.

For case 1 I still prefer to see only the link description because I
prefer to hide a too disturbing URL part most of the times. My example
for case 1 is only artificial and my actual descriptions will be such
that it can not be confused with case 2.

I hope the previously described idea of a third value for
org-descriptive-links or something similar makes some sense.
