Hello,
I cannot seem to find in org.el a function that will return the
description part of a link. I'm probably missing it … Could someone tell
me if such a function exists?
Thanks,
Alan

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

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm already doing something similar:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(let ((link (org-store-link nil))
(name (org-element-property :raw-value (org-element-at-point))))
...)
#+end_src
For some reason I was under the impression that org-element might be
overkill for this, but it works well.
Thanks again,
Alan

You can also use org-bracket-link-regexp, if you want:
(let ((link "[[http://example.com][Description]]"))
(and (string-match org-bracket-link-regexp link)
(match-string 3 link)))
