Cf. the variable `org-link-descriptive' and its associated toggle
function `org-toggle-link-display' (also reachable via the menu
Org -> Links -> Descriptive ...)

There is an unproven conjecture by some mathematician from the
seventeenth century that Org contains everything. He wrote that
he had a proof, but that the margin of the book he just had at
hand was too narrow to write it down.

Therefore: buy only books with large margins, kids.
