I agree that this is a good idea, and in certain cases it could be done automatically for all occurances of a word (that's how it works on zh.wikipedia right now; you can do exclusions though if you want).
For example:
K'öi4 pei3 sa:m1-pun3 sü1 ngo4. = Ta1 gei3 wo3 san1ben3 shu1. ("He gave me three books.")
Which could be handled by bracketing: Ta1 gei3 [[dialect: wo3 | gd: ]] san1ben3 shu1 [[dialect: | gd: ngo4]].
Which would probably be macro'd since it is common. {{wo3}} and {{ngo4}} would do it as a pair.
