That may be what you expect, with your deep understanding of wikitext, but it's very far from how normal visual editors work and so would be very confusing to users who are not immersed in the fine points of link trails. More fundamentally, making a change in one place that magically affects another is a bad user experience. Why would this magic happen with links but not, say, adding bold? Why would this happen down-word but not up (except on wikis with linkhead instead of/as well as linktrail)?
