Re: org-link-set-parameters :complete how to prompt for description?
> I am guessing you were referring to org-link-make-string? Well. Not really. But I am glad that you found the function you need. Normally, org-link-make-description-function should be called for any link inserted with org-insert-link to generate initial text for the description prompt. The (possibly empty) prompt should actually be shown regardless of the value of org-link-make-description-function. But I guess you can as well directly return the link with description in your completion function.

Take a look at org-link-make-description-function Best, Ihor Hi Ihor, I am guessing you were referring to org-link-make-string? I don't know how I missed that. All I can say is I don't think it is actually in the Docs anywhere. Because I looked and looked (as well as searching Internet)! In either case, I truly am greatly appreciative, as promised. :) Thanks a lot, Ihor! --- @All, Apologies for any duplicates received, I seem to have some trouble figuring out the correct thread and method to reply (even though I don't usually have problem on other lists). Assuming I didn't overlook it, perhaps this is an opportunity to improve said Docs? Cheers, TRS-80
