`org-insert-link' *does* already displays the description of the links
like this:

http://orgmode.org (Org Mode website)
http://orgmode.org/worg/ (Worg website)

The description is within the parenthese.

I think it's good to have both the link *and* the description.

What would be a better way of presenting the description?
