This behaviour has been introduced in bb61b37ee

ol.el: Don't store the same link twice
* lisp/ol.el (org-store-link): Don't store the same link twice.
I think that it will make a lot more sense to move the link in front of
the stored link list instead of just printing the message.
Bastien, others: any objections? (another possibility could be a
defcustom, but I cannot find how the current behaviour is useful for
anyone).

The descriptions are displayed in *Org Links* buffer.
The completing-read call could, however, be improved to display link
descriptions as well. Patches welcome!
