Thanks much, this is perfect! Scott

I have implemented this behavior, thanks.
It has the side effect that the selected text is removed from the buffer,
even if you change the offered default description, but I guess this
is ok.

Here's a feature request: If text is selected when the create link
command is invoked (C-c C-l), then the selected text becomes the
default contents for the link description mini-buffer. If no text is
selected, the description mini-buffer is blank, as it is now.
This would reduce substantially keystrokes for my usual style of
editing, which is to first type in the outline text and then to go
back and sprinkle it with links to references (to websites, bib
entries, lines of code...). For example, suppose I have written this
sentence:
"Implement the RLS algorithm"
And, suppose I've already stored a link to an RLS paper by typing C-l
in in my bib file. Then, while in the outline buffer, I'd like to be
able to select the text "RLS algorithm", and then hit:
C-c C-l (creates link minibuffer)
<enter> (enters stored link)
<enter> (enters selected text as link description)
As soon as it occurred to me that this would make org-mode more
efficient, I realized that this is how other standard programs
already handle html references; I'd guess that many would already be
familiar with this small change in org-mode behavior.
Thanks for all the good work,
Scott
