This (2) seems is not difficult, if the performance is not a matter! If you clearly state (in a new thread) what you like to have, I think there are some good programmers here to implement it! I may help with pure wikitext! Do you know in advance which word refer to a title or no? Is it possible to add a marker like + sign to them?
