This is fine.

Org shows link prefixes, stored links, and link description in the completion. The relevant code in `org-insert-link' is: (org-completing-read "Link: " (append (mapcar (lambda (x) (concat x ":")) all-prefixes) (mapcar #'car org-stored-links) ;; Allow description completion. Avoid "nil" option ;; in the case of `completing-read-default' and ;; an error in `ido-completing-read' when some links ;; have no description. (delq nil (mapcar 'cadr org-stored-links))) nil nil nil 'org-link--history (caar org-stored-links)) >> Notice that "title" is present among the completion options. > > title does not show in my case and nots ure the signiricance. i use > large fonts. that might or might nto be relevant. Completing descriptions feature has been added by Max 10 months ago - it is a fairly recent addition: 0432f4fe6ba9b07c17ac555beab1527d8f844234 Author: Max Nikulin <maniku...@gmail.com> ol.el: Restore complete by description for insert link * lisp/ol.el (org-insert-link): Allow completion of link target by its description. Almost certainly the feature was removed unintentionally. This commit is a part of Org 9.6. May it be that you are using older Org version? -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
