Indeed. By design, `org-insert-link' is synchronous - it expects the link and description to be available upon request. > I am not sure if it is safe/possible always to access the internet or do > it asynchronously, so I'll abandon the ship and revert to home-cooked one just > for the precautios measures: What you can do is (1) make url descriptions be something like <title to be retrieved>; (2) add an :after advice for `org-insert-link' that will queue asynchronous url fetching; (3) replace <title to be retrieved> with the fetched title upon finishing the request. If the request fails, the description will remain <title to be retrieved>. Or you can run description retrieval independently, as a minor mode that will search for <title to be retrieved> marks and try to fetch them. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
