Re: org-insert-link completion by description (Re: what is the purpose of "This link has already been stored"?)

[Samuel Wales]

scratch the expanded thing.

it ends up showing orig smaller less useful, links uselessly
boilerplate, completions -- 3 windows!  and a terse minibuffer i
wouldn't be able to use.  -q.  i cannot use such a ui.

in contrast, what i expected is orig, and then expanded minibuffer
with, instead of doi: and so on, has useful links as descriotions.
only 1 window, if you don't count minibuffer.
