Hmm. Ok, I think I could to it this way in Template Toolkit:

Downside is then that Markdown has to process every reference
which if you have a few thousand will be time consuming.
(I have an INSERT text at one point that jsut in template toolkit
takes 10-12 seconds to do. It's only a thousand lines, but there
is zero processing to do, it just stuffs it into the file.
If you're prepared to have a fiddle with perl, have a look at
Text::Markdown (on CPAN)..
You can do this reasonably trivially - here is a ghetto version of
Markdown.pl which will suck all your link references out of
~/.markdownrc:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Text::Markdown;
use File::Slurp;
use File::HomeDir;
use Path::Class;
my $m = Text::Markdown->new;
my $urls;
{
my $markdownrc = read_file(file(File::HomeDir->my_home,
'.markdownrc'));
$m->markdown($markdownrc);
$urls = $m->{_urls};
}
print $m->markdown(<>, {urls => $urls});
That should do what you originally asked for - adjust to taste..
If you wanted to add an accessor for the URLs hashref on the module,
and an option to the Markdown.pl script that I bundle in the
distribution to give it this functionality, I'd be very happy to take
a patch. :_)
Cheers
