The answer is yes. I was about to send a proposal to modify links  
since I have that need internally in order to support linking to images.
The idea is to have this new format:

[[label>reference>property1=value1 property2 = value2...]]

For now the "known" properties would be target and image:
[[label>reference>target="_new" image="myimage.png"]]

But it supports any number of properties.

Will that fit your use case?

Thanks
