It can do so already, but...

a) it requires the JSON API (which is not on be default) because core
fossil will try to parse the wiki pages for you, whereas the JSON API
provides an option to serve raw (unparsed) wiki pages.

b) the client needs to provide his own JS, set it up in his repo header,
etc.

c) there isn't currently a mechanism which would allow wiki-generated and
such to integrate with that, so it requires a completely custom front-end.
The core only knows about one type of wiki like, and would send all
generated links to the built-in wiki rendering mechanism.
