I accomplish this by using C-c C-l  RET RET (which is bound to org-insert-link 
and resides in org.el)
Technically it pops up the long link and description for editing in the message 
buffer, but they default to current values so effectively provide an easy 
display.  Works from anywhere in the highlighted link.
If nothing else it should point you at some modifiable code you can use for 
display.
