Thanks for offering!

A JS rewrite would be potentially even easier to maintain than link types
  - easy to turn off again if we don't like it
  - easy to switch instances by making a change in one place

A small paradox is that it would not make the alternative
(proprietary-JS-free) links available precisely to those who won't
enable JS in the browser at all and would stand to benefit from them.

A rewrite could go at least two ways:

1. Single links with an option where to go when you click them
   - annoying if asked every time, would need a cookie

2. Additional links side by side
   - more clutter, less clicks/cookies

Which did you have in mind?

Worg so far has very minimal JS, and zero cookies that I know of.
