I searched the ML archives about that. It was a thread named [RFC] Change visibility for bracket links in which you participated. It never ended on anything concrete because the involved participants disagreed on the default value -- or, to put it differently, I disagreed with mostly anyone else -- and some users suggested another way to do it, but never implemented their suggestion fully. Anyway, here is an updated patch from the original thread, as a POC. It adds `partial' to `org-descriptive-links'. It isn't complete, as `org-toggle-link-display' should be altered so as to not modify `org-descriptive-links'. Maybe it's time for an old idea revival.
