Currently if you do this:
[[file:path_to_image][Description]]
the description seems to be thrown away and there seems to be no way
to link to an image inline in one place, not inline in another place.
I'd like to propose that when inline-images is on for a document,
the following link:
file:path_to_image
result in inlining, whereas:
[[file:path_to_image][Description]]
not result in inlining, instead letting the text "Description" be a
plain text link to the image.
This way we could choose by the link type, whether the image is
inlined. The reason is, most of the time I want inline images, but
sometimes I want to post a large screenshot...

No, I don't think this is acceptable. Plain links are not different
from bracketed links, and this difference should not be misused. What
are you going to do if the path to the file name contains space
characters? Then you always need the brackets around the link etc.
How about
[[file:path_to_image]]
for an inline image and
[[file:path_to_image][Description]]
for a linked image? This looks more consistent to me. Would this
break anything else?
