with org-insert-link.
This doesn't seem to be true though. I really would love for there
to be a way to influence the link description, but no matter what
the documentation should be corrected.
Thus, we may as well take this opportunity and allow
`org-create-file-search-functions' to return a cons cell
("search term" . "description"). This will not require unintuitive
global variables.
There is the `org-store-link-plist' variable used by :store functions
from `org-link-parameters' but not by the
`org-create-file-search-functions' hook. Maybe it is enough to add
(setq desc (plist-get org-store-link-plist :description))
after calling of the hook.
For a while, I hope, it is possible to create a workaround using
(org-link-set-parameters
"file"
:store ...)
