In that case: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (defun file-description (start end path bracketp) (put-text-property start end 'display (shell-command-to-string (format "file %s" path))))
(org-link-set-parameters "file" :activate-func 'file-description) #+END_SRC With this, you have to have a way to insert links that isn't typing them in by hand; as soon as emacs recognizes the link, it changes the display which makes it hard to type. The shell command puts a long string, so you might replace that with something that has the output you wanted above.
