For links with a description I always just repeat the protocol tag there manually: [[file://path/to/my file][file: myfile]] [[http://www.example.com/path/to/my file][http: myfile]]
Together with the space after the colon this shows, also immediately, if you look only at the link description or at the link itself: [[file://path/to/my file]] [[http://www.example.com/path/to/my file]] This color-independent solution works even if colors would not be available occasionally like with some terminal configs.
