I think you mean org-insert-link, right?

I don't know if there is an API, but org-store-link just adds the link
info to the front of the list org-stored-links, so the last link added
is (car org-stored-links).  Each element of org-stored-links is a
two-element list (link description). Both of these are strings (possibly
strings with text properties).

So something like this might work:

    (let ((link (car org-stored-links)))
         (insert (format "[[%s][%s]]" (car link) (cadr link))))

at least for now... It's imo "better" than the keyboard macro but it's
still pretty low level and ugly.
