I suspect you could do something with browse-url. The issue I see here
is why you would want the contents fetched whenever you insert a link or
where this summary(title). I guess I don't really understand what
exactly is your use case here - everything I can think of seems more
complicated and requiring more maintenance than just typing the
appropriate description when you insert the link.
