Different way of presenting it, worth a try, get some feedback and see how
it goes.
I can see this working with users that haven't got a set routine on how they
explore a story. I for instance will read a story, and then for background
information and further reading, will middle-click all the interesting links
so they are ready and open in the background to read afterwards. This 'live
preview' linking of content might add some value to users who want to stay
on the same page, and only want small chunks of info to accompany their
reading.
