Starting with 5.08, you will be able to use %A in the template.
It will insert the link, but explicitly prompt you for
the link description.

This is hard, because the whole note insertion of remember notes
is based on the outline structure. No action for now.

A remember note is an outline entry, i.e. it has a first line
with one or many stars. Notes are inserted into the existing
outline structure using the command org-paste-subtree.
The command is clever about adjusting the outline level of the
inserted subtree, so that it correctly fits into the local
hierarchy. And to make sure the user understands what just happened,
it tells the user what the new outline level of the inserted item is,
if it hat to be shifted (i.e. promoted or demoted but removing or
adding stars) to get there. At the time of implementation
this was more of a debugging feedback than anything else.
I guess this is reasonably useful feedback when using the pasting
commands explicitly, in an interactive way. We could turn
off the message in non-interactive use like this (during remember
filing note storing).
For interactive use, how about the simpler:
"Clipboard pasted as level N subtree"
Would that be clearer?
