This makes sense.  I have pushed a change for this, it is available for
latest versions of Org-mode from git (http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode.git).

Here is the log:

,----
| Also use TAB for completion with org-insert-link.
| 
| Before this patch the completion mechanism was this: TAB let's you
| complete through link prefixes (gnus: file: bbdb: ...) then RET allows
| completion if a completion mechanism is available for the chosen prefix.
| Navigating through the history of stored links was a separate process,
| available through the up/down M-n/M-p keys.
| 
| Now TAB not only completes through link prefixes but also through stored
| links.  This behavior matches other Emacs completion mechanisms a bit
| more closely.

This feature is in the development version of Org and is subject to
change.  I'm just doing temporary maintainance, Carsten has the last
word on these "enhancements".

Best,
