Hi list,
i came accross this situation several times: i have a (long) link in an
org-mode buffer and want to label it by yanking some text.
My first move was to select the link as the region and try C-u C-c C-l on
it, since org-insert-link does just the opposite : it takes the region as
the default label for some link you want to yank.
But the universal argument of C-c C-l makes org-insert-link deal with file
names.
Does anybody know any automated way to yank text as the descriptive-part of
an org-mode link ?
Thanks !

Do these solutions count?
With cursor anywhere in the link:
C-c C-l RET M-h C-y
Or, with cursor at beginning [*] of the link
M-@ M-@ ..... C-y
You have to repeat M-@ [**] once for each word in the original
description (or give it a numeric argument)
Cheers

Sorry my question was not clear. I wanted to import (possibly external)
text as the descriptive part of a link, not to copy the descriptive text
itself. Thanks anyway, i didn't know M-@ !

Yes, but I think I understood you correctly. I was assuming you wanted
to replace the existing descriptive text with new text that you had
just copied to the kill ring or cut buffer. Note that they end in C-y,
not M-w. However, I now see that my methods rely on having activated
the emacs option whereby yanked (pasted) text overwrites the current
marked region (selection). I think this is controlled by zmacs-region
and cua-mode, which maybe you don't have activated. Sorry for the
confusion.
Cheers
Will

First move was wrong. C-c C-l does the job correctly when no region is
set. Sorry for the noise.
