patch to make descriptive display link type dependent

[John Kitchin <jkitchin@andrew.cmu.edu>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 637 bytes --]

The attached patch makes it possible to make some links not
descriptively if a variable for the link is defined and its value is not
'org-link.

There are a few scenarios where this would be good. In org-ref I apply
an advice to the activate-bracket-link function to undo the descriptive
link showing for cite links which use the description for additional
information like page numbers.

Another use that inspired this is a set of commenting links that might
look like: [[replace:JK some old text][some new text]] where it might be
desirable to see the whole link, but keep other descriptive links in the
descriptive form.

Thoughts?

Subject: [PATCH] make individual bracket links invisible
To: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org

if org-link-type-visibility is 'org-link or non-existant the link type
will behave normallay. If not, it will not be folded so the path and
descripbtion is visible.
