Hi list,
my question is as in subject. It is done by org-open-at-point
(somehow), but the logic seems to be buried in that function. What I'd
like to have is a function that would just extract the link portion
(which is normally invisible) and displayed it in the echo area
(something like hovering over a link in a web browser).
I skimmed through org.el, and either I couldn't find a function which
does it, or this email is a feature request;).
TIA,

If point is on a link you can
(org-element-property :raw-link (org-element-context))
Hope it helps,

There may be a better way, but I think below does what you want.
#+begin_src elisp
(defun org-display-link ()
(interactive)
(message "%s" (org-element-property :raw-link (org-element-context))))
#+end_src

This returns the link at the line, it assumes one link per line:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun test ()
(save-excursion
(move-beginning-of-line 1)
(if (search-forward-regexp org-any-link-re
(line-end-position) t)
(let* ((complete-link (match-string 0))
(last-place (string-match "\\]" complete-link)))
(substring-no-properties complete-link 2
last-place))))
#+END_SRC

Yes, I do, but this is not what I'm looking for. I want to see the
`descriptive' links, only to be able (sometimes) to look up the actual
target of the link. (And I don't like the idea of moving the point to
the end, pressing <backspace> to delete the rightmost bracket, and then
pressing C-\ to undo it...)

I accomplish this by using C-c C-l RET RET (which is bound to org-insert-link and resides in org.el)
Technically it pops up the long link and description for editing in the message buffer, but they default to current values so effectively provide an easy display. Works from anywhere in the highlighted link.
If nothing else it should point you at some modifiable code you can use for display.

When I want to see *all* the contents in my Org file (that is LOGBOOK
entries, URL in links, etc.), I use M-x visible-mode.
