In the past, there have been discussions about link titles and the preferred
format was [[link | text | title ]]. It is written on the roadmap.
Alternatively, there is a LinkTitles recipe that uses [[link | text (title)]]
and hides the thing in parentheses much like the regular [[page (link)]] does.
The external link titles feature [[http://link"title";|text]] always existed
but was initially hidden because the $UrlLinkFmt didn't have the attribute
title='\$LinkAlt'. It was for a long time documented how to enable it, and it
is now enabled.
The image alt/title text always existed like http://site/image.jpg"alt"; or
Attach:im.jpg"alt".
That's why I said Monday, I don't know yet if and how the [[internal link
"with quotes"]] should or shouldn't be changed in the core.

Thank you for clarifying the situation. All 3 markup options have merit.
With [[page link | text | title]] and [[page link | text (title)]]:
a) How would the -> link option work?
I assume [[text | title -> page link]] and [[text (title) -> page link]]
b) How would an author specify a title while using 'page link' as the text?
[[page link | | title]] and [[page link | (title)]] ??
[[ | title -> page link]] and [[(title) -> page link]] ??
In my local customisation, I chose to interpret [[page link"title"]] so
that 'page link' becomes
the text, although a case can be made that the link text ought to
include the "title" part.
One problem I found with [[page link"title" | text]] is if title
contains (brackets). I have coded
these as numeric entities, as I couldn't see a simple way to fix this
without modifying the
core. The main reason I chose [[page link"title" | text]] was for
consistency with existing link
alt text markup.
If this thread continues, perhaps we should move it to pmwiki-users, as
the discussion has
moved out of the coding arena.
Thanks again.
