I went with "Type" to match other Emacs commands.

All right, you be the judge.

Personally, I find this UI less disorienting, as opposed to the unclear
comment about RET in the *Org Links* buffer.  And it makes sense, given
I see the "VERB NOUN [default CANDIDATE]: " constantly, all throughout
in Emacs.

Gotcha!

(It is quite confusing when using e.g. Vertico, but if we are optimizing
for the default Emacs completion system, then it makes sense.)
