Carsten-

In terms of inlining images in the description portion per the linked
posting, do you think that it should depended on the value if the
=include-linked= argument? (IMHO no, since the default usage of
`org-display-inline-images' doesn't set this argument). I would be
glad to take a stab at this enhancement.

John-
In reviewing `org-display-inline-images', and the handling of org
links in general, i see no safe (and not overly complex) way of making
added link types expand inline images. In the case mentioned, i still
feel that adding chemdraw as a babel language is the correct approach.
However, if we add the expansion of images in the description, would
that work:

[[chemdraw:file.cdxml][file:file.png]]
