Insert space before link with org-insert-link

Question

In Doom Emacs and org-mode, I want to use org-insert-link pressing the minimum amount of keys. So I want to combine two-four commands in one. The default behaviour doesn't leave space before or after.

I have tried various variations of the following but it doesn't work:

(add-hook 'org-mode 'org-insert-link-with-space)
(defun org-insert-link-with-space ()
       "org-insert-link-with-space, like org-insert-link but after prompt"
       (interactive)
       (insert " ") (org-insert-link) (insert " ") (evil-insert-state)
)
(map! :ne "SPC m l" #'org-insert-link-with-space)

I want to type this:

here is a link for you

pressing the minimum amount of keys:

hereSpaceisSpaceaEscSpacemll<copy/paste link and description description>RetforSpaceyou

How do I fix my snippet?

Update: I combined three answers (1, 2 and 3) from SE and ended up to what I currently use. It inserts a link like ViM's inoremap by pressing jk only while in insert-mode:

(add-hook 'post-self-insert-hook
          (lambda ()
            (and (eq last-command-event ?k)
                 (looking-back "jk" (- (point) 2))
                 (if (> 1 2)
                   (message "True")
                 (call-interactively 'evil-delete-backward-char)
                 (call-interactively 'evil-delete-backward-char)
                 (call-interactively 'org-insert-link)
                 ))))

It certainly needs some refinement, but for the time being it works perfectly!

If you want this all the time, and are happy with your keybinding for inserting a link, you can use an advice for this. I am not familiar with evil/doom, you may also need (evil-insert-state) at the end of the function.

(defun org-insert-link-with-space (orig-func &rest args)
  (insert " ")
  (call-interactively orig-func)
  (insert " "))
