Modify an existing link in org-mode with mini-buffer prompts

Is there a way to modify an existing link in org-mode with mini-buffer prompts?

Modifying the link syntax as it was written seems to be really fiddly and unpredictable because of emac’s URL hiding behavior. I’ve taken to binding org-toggle-link-display to C-c L but what I’d really like to just be able to put my cursor over any part of the link and then prompted in the mini-buffer like this:

URL: http://example.com

and then

Link text: foobar

for a link like this:

[[http://example.com][foobar]]

and be able to change either of those however I wish.

Solution 1:

I believe you are looking for org-insert-link which is bounded to C-c C-l. When the point is on a link, this will open what you want in the mini-buffer. An advantage: you can edit long links/descriptions that can span over lines!
