Hi,
Wondering if anyone is interested in adding a new org-link property to
customise generating the link description.
For now, there is global org-link-make-description-function, which is
shared among all the link types. If would be more convenient if the
description function can be set independently for different link types.
I propose to use :description property in org-link-parameters. A sample
implementation working with current org version is below:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun yant/org-make-link-description-function (link desk)
"Return description of the link LINK according to :description link property.
Return DESK if :desk is not set."
(let ((fun (org-link-get-parameter (car (split-string link ":")) :description)))
(if (functionp fun)
(funcall fun link desk)
desk)))
(setq org-make-link-description-function #'yant/org-make-link-description-function)
#+end_src
Example usage:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun org-id-link-desk (link desk)
"Description function for id: link."
(let ((id (cadr (split-string link ":"))))
(org-with-point-at (org-id-find id 'marker)
(s-replace "||" "/" (yant/task-fulltitle)))))
(org-link-set-parameters "id"
:desk #'org-id-link-desk)
#+end_src
Best,
Ihor

This sounds reasonable. I was a little confused with the mixture of
of description and desk in the code below. If you replace desk with
description everywhere in your code is that what you mean?

Oops. Indeed, :desk should be replaced with :description. I used :desk
property in my personal config, but it may be confusing for others.
Best,
Ihor

yes, this sounds useful.
Can you propose a patch against current Org master branch?
See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html on how to contribute.
If you need to contribute more than 15 lines of code or want to be
able to contribute later on, please fill this form:
https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/raw/master/request-assign-future.txt
Also, as John noted already, "desk" is confusing, you can simply use
"description" (long names are not a problem.)
Thanks in advance!
