That would be very interesting. It would also do wonders for SEO. Wonder if any web-authoring tool lets you do this now. Ideally, you could prefer links from a site with which you had link-back agreements. Letting partners optimize links between each other, driving up the traffic of the entire group. Blogs could also use this in a big way - every movie title linked to Wikipedia or IMDB, books to Amazon, music to iTunes etc. I smell a start-up idea in the works. Does anybody know if there are any tools which do this currently? Ubiquity <http://labs.mozilla.com/projects/ubiquity/> ( http://labs.mozilla.com/projects/ubiquity/) does something similar as you're typing but more as a powerful instant mashup through natural language tool than a web-authoring tool.
