Resurrecting "selective freelinking" issue, after a whole year! 

I have a new project with freelinks, but want to minimize the risk of 
slowing the wiki way down. Jeremy had explained, in this thread, how to 
limit freelinks:

When I tried this recently, I thought it wasn't working... until I realized 
we were talking past each other a bit. 

   - ALICE: I do say what I mean; I always mean what I say. It's the same 
   thing.
   - MAD HATTER: Not in the slightest. Is it the same thing to say you see 
   what you eat and you eat what you see?

I envisioned EVERY tiddler being poised to display with outbound freelinks, 
but pointing ONLY to the tiddlers with MyTag (wherever those titles are 
mentioned in a text field).
Instead, the recipe above limits freelinks the other way: we don't see them 
EXCEPT when MyTag tiddlers are being viewed (but then we see outbound links 
to EVERY tiddler whose title is mentioned).

So..., is it possible to develop a filter that constrains which "targets" 
are eligible? (Use case: I've got defined technical terms; whenever 
pasted-in text happens to mention the term, the term "lights up")
