Include description with wp_get_links?

I moved my links off of my sidebar onto a separate page using a page template and am really pleased with how easy it was to move it.

However, I would like to make a change … I’m currently using the example on the Codex’s wp_get_links page and would like to know if that could be modified to include the description?

I’ve tried mucking around with it myself, but nothing’s worked so far.
