The link is displayed only if you do not set text as content settings.

https://github.com/AlchemyCMS/alchemy_cms/blob/b6d8ceacd2ac1faa4a58b303194eaad079f1e9dc/app/views/alchemy/essences/_essence_link_view.html.erb#L6-L7

- name: link_nested
  contents:
    - name: link
      type: EssenceLink
      hint: true
      settings:
        text: My link text

The Alchemy::EssenceLink#link_title is meant as the title attribute on the <a> tag created. But currently not used in the essence partial I just saw. This should be fixed actually.

What you may also want to use is an EssenceText with the linkable: true attribute. That way the content editor can enter the text of the link in the text field.

- name: link_nested
  contents:
    - name: link
      type: EssenceText
      hint: true
      settings:
        linkable: true

Probably something we should mention in the guides.

IMHO absolutely related:

Is it correct that Alchemy::EssenceLink#link_title is not used in _essence_link_view.html.erb or am I missing something?

It seems that only settings/text: Foo or content.ingredient (which is basically the link) is shown. I would have expected something like

content.essence&.link_title.presence || content.settings_value(:text, local_assigns.fetch(:options, {})) || content.ingredient
