I would rather have a tooltip option. It would be neat if a little
tooltip would popup with the first paragraph or so of the page you are
linking too. If nothing else, this would be very cool for links to
wikitionary.
It could use something like [[Def:<word>]] and a link to that
wikitionary would be created with a tooltip that had a quick
defenition of it.
It would add quite a server load though.
While I won't argue about how to get the definitions, here's some
things about implementing such a system:
* Adding such a psuedo-namespace would require hacking, since there's
no standard way of adding them.
* A large tooltip would require JavaScript, since the title attribute
is only made for single lines. (Try
