That's easily doable by adding a new preprocessor rule for one [.
However, it would change the AST of hundreds of templates, and still not fix
the basic problem: {{A|http://domain.lol/?Foobar=World}}.

That's the same as proposed in comment #15.
I'm sympathetic with the idea of a potential {{{ {{{1}}} }}} breaking change,
since wikitext is not a programming language, and dereferencing goes quite too
far.
An efficient list of all the of that would mean bumping the preprocessor
version to additionally generate a list with used parameters, not only to avoid
the O(n) search of parameters, but also so that expanding just a subnode is
easier.
It'd be much easier to make numeric parameters indexes absolute (cf Roan
comment #9) but the huge template breakage prevents it.
