If it can be assumed that by clicking on the link generated by [[this is some pretty link text]] in page A, we also want to change links in any other page pointing to that one, then you *can* quite easily find out where it's being linked from, using the link tables...with the caveat that there will also be link table entries on pages where links have come from a template.
That's a good point - and a strong assumption. John, would you want to change the text of _all the links_ that link to a given page, or just one a time? I may have misunderstood the problem statement.
I had envisaged one at a time, I create a page with
*[[Pretty link for page 1]] *[[Pretty link for page 2]] *[[Pretty link for page 3]]
and save this page, I would expect to get a bulleted list of three links, all of which would be red.
With the new extension in place when I click on the first link, I could then select 'choose page' rather than 'create page', search for the page, select it and the page title is written back into the source page wiki text so it now become:-
*[[page 1 as selected|Pretty link for page 1]] *[[Pretty link for page 2]] *[[Pretty link for page 3]]
and the first link is now blue, I can then select the second link.... third link .....
etc.
