Currently, the internal implementation will treat nil return value as if
there was no :default-description and org-link-make-description-function
were set to nil. We may probably document this. It sounds like a useful
behaviour.
If the :default-description function returns non-string and not nil, the
behaviour is simply undefined. It was also the case for
org-link-make-description-function. Though we might add a cl-assert
somewhere near the end of org-insert-link to deliberately throw an
error.
The return value of org-link-make-description-function can also be nil
in addition to string. I suggest documenting this, just as you did for
:insert-description parameter.
Best,
Ihor
