The Org version in the Anthony's report is 9.5. Samuel, could you, 
please, confirm that you use at least Org-9.6? It contains a number of 
fixes related to `org-store-link' and `org-insert-link' including a 
change related to completion by description.

Is it realistic for you to try the default completion function (emacs -q 
and load newer Org) instead of ido? I mean namely completion by 
description ignoring selection from the links buffer.

There is a number of issues with this pair of functions, however 
completion by description should work to some extent.
