org-element-context on a link will give you what you want.  It lives in
org-element, though.

Something like this when point is on a link,

    (let ((e (org-element-context)))
      (buffer-substring-no-properties
       (org-element-property :contents-begin e)
       (org-element-property :contents-end e)))

Hope it helps,
Rasmus
