I agree, it doesn't make sense to use it for customization. OTOH, it
also adds the link type to org-link-types, rebuilds the regexp and the
org-link-protocols.
Do you think we would eliminate `org-link-types' and
`org-link-protocols' then? That would be fine with me.
I think we might still want an org-add-link-type function though, if
there are additional things that need to be done after adding to
`org-link-type-parameters', e.g. updating regexps. It might even be
feasible to keep backward compatibility for code that already uses this.
Presumably we would then eliminate the "org-%s-complete-link" functions?
There don't seem to be many (not including the auto-generated org-ref
related ones ;)

I like it.
