Instead of completely new element perhaps we could try something like an alternate underline style?
examples… http://tympanus.net/Development/CreativeLinkEffects/ http://tympanus.net/Development/InlineAnchorStyles/
something as simple as a dotted or dashed underline for red links, BUT! a lot of users have link underlining turned off, so this would likely show only on hover, which is not the end of the world, just something to consider.
