Duncan, Have you tried the freelinks plugin? Its in the standard plugins
It will go a long way to doing this. Whilst active it turns any valid tiddlername mentioned in a tiddlers text to a link to that will open the tiddler. You could use the Bimlases highlight searched text plugin https://bimlas.gitlab.io/tw5-highlight-searched-text/ This would allow you to see on screen everywhere "mackarel" is in use, then add a new tiddler called mackarel such that it will become a link using freelinks. Some discussion has being had to see if we could then alter the wikitext of tiddlers containing mackarel to transform it into a permanent link [[mackarel]] however you can do it manually, but do you need to if free-links is available. Also a search text contains mackarel should always work.
