So IIUC the need is to easily remove the link part of a link.

I pushed a change to make this easier.  Now you can hit `C-c C-l' on
a link, empty the link part, keep the description and RET to get only
the description inserted as non-link text.

Let me know if this seems okay for you.

I'm copying Adam as he may comment on that too.

Thanks,

PS: In general, it is easier and faster for people who process emails
in this mailing list if you rephrase the problem so that we don't need
to check an external resource.
