* The question
Let's say I have the following link #+BEGIN_SRC org This is a sentence [[foo][bar]]. This is another sentence. #+END_SRC How to programmatically get the description of the link (i.e. =bar=)? * Additional information I've tried using =org-element-context=. The following sexp was executed when the cursor was on the link which was presented above. #+BEGIN_SRC text ELISP> (with-current-buffer "main.org" (org-element-context)) #+END_SRC #+BEGIN_SRC text (link (:type "fuzzy" :path "foo" :format bracket :raw-link "foo" :application nil :search-option nil :begin 1 :end 15 :contents-begin 8 :contents-end 13 :post-blank 0 :parent (paragraph (:begin 1 :end 16 :contents-begin 1 :contents-end 16 :post-blank 0 :post-affiliated 1 :parent nil)))) #+END_SRC and =org-element-at-point=. The following sexp was executed when the cursor was on the link which was presented above. #+BEGIN_SRC text ELISP> (with-current-buffer "main.org" (org-element-at-point)) #+END_SRC #+BEGIN_SRC text (paragraph (:begin 1 :end 16 :contents-begin 1 :contents-end 16 :post-blank 0 :post-affiliated 1 :parent nil)) #+END_SRC but neither of those get the description of the link as metadata.
