That would be very interesting. It would also do wonders for SEO. Wonder if
any web-authoring tool lets you do this now. Ideally, you could prefer links
from a site with which you had link-back agreements. Letting partners
optimize links between each other, driving up the traffic of the entire
group.

Blogs could also use this in a big way - every movie title linked to
Wikipedia or IMDB, books to Amazon, music to iTunes etc. I smell a start-up
idea in the works. Does anybody know if there are any tools which do this
currently?

Ubiquity <http://labs.mozilla.com/projects/ubiquity/> (

typing but more as a powerful instant mashup through natural language tool
than a web-authoring tool.
