I do think putting this in the link parameters is the way to go. I'm
impressed you got a working solution together so quickly, but that's way
more than package authors should have to deal with!

Actually, it could be something as simple as: if the :complete function
returns a cons cell, use the `car' as the link and the `cdr' as the
description default. Surely that would be enough?
