C-u C-c C-l to find the file, then RET RET to insert it with its name as
the default description.

I'm not sure of what you mean.
The usual way is to call `org-store-link' (`C-c l' here) on a file in
dired then to insert this link back with `org-insert-link' (C-c C-l).
Does that help?
If you want to create a list of links from dired and copy this list to
the kill-ring, maybe you can use something like this as well:
(defun my-copy-dired-files-in-kill-ring ()
"Copy files names in the kill ring."
(interactive)
(let ((files (dired-map-over-marks (dired-get-filename) nil)))
(kill-new
(mapconcat
(lambda (f)
(concat "[[file:" f "]["
(file-name-nondirectory f) "]]"))
files "\n"))
(message "%d Org links copied to the kill-ring" (length files))))
