The main problem with such an approach is that it quickly becomes a performance issue. It is ok for a few terms, but if you accumulate a large number of terms, and if you want to use font-lock to activate words as links, this means that after each letter you type, font-lock will have to match all words in the current line against all those terms. This can become slow.
Hi. A question from the peanut gallery. Could the checking to see if a term matches be deferred until the user types a non-whitespace character followed by either a whitespace character or a movement operation? If this is possible, it might speed things up a little. I don't know enough about how font-lock work to know if this reasonable.
