Si,

I have a field I create in any tiddler relating to discussions we have here 
in GG.  In edit mode I just create the "discussion" field and past the link 
to the GG item.
I have a small viewTemplate that displays the link as "discussion" at the 
bottom of any tiddler found like that.

In the near future I intend provide an opportunity to drop one or more 
links on a tiddler and create one or more fields with the suffix "-link", 
then the caption for such a link can be anything before the "-link" in 
5.2.0 and its new field naming freedom.
Your stylesheet example however may best be handled using Sorens suggested 
comments areas. Keep in mind you can build a way to find and display such 
comments from any tiddler especially if you make a de facto standard;

eg 
<!-- source name url notes -->
Then you can search for tiddlers with lines beginning "<!-- source" use the 
name with the url and follow this with the notes.
To simplify the search you could add a field called contains-sources=yes 

You could even display this At the bottom of each tiddler containing such 
comments.

Regards
Tones
