That works too. The only advantage of the formulation I used above is that
the same macro can be used to reference images or make links.

No, the brackets are only required for the definition. It's to allow single
line macros to be defined:
\define myMacro(something) `$something$ else`
But I'm thinking we should drop the brackets for consistency.

The latter works for macros.

My intention is to support macros written in JS for this sort of thing. I
think that introducing conditionals and so forth will make the existing
macro language overly complex.
