--- Comment #2 from Amir E. Aharoni <amir.ahar...@mail.huji.ac.il> ---
It probably shouldn't be the highest priority, but as an editor, I would like
something like this. In fact, I'd find it far more useful than Hovercards: When
I'm reading an article and want to know more about a topic to which there is a
link, I usually middle-click it to open it in a new tab and read it a bit
later, so I don't really need Hovercards. As I am editing, however, it would be
useful for me to add a link and be more sure as to where is the link leading.
Is [[Washing Machine]] leading to the article about the appliance or about the
Sonic Youth album? Is [[AC/DC]] leading to an article about electrical
engineering or about a band? These are real situation in which I found myself
recently, and in both of them I had to open a new tab to make sure.
So I would love to see something more than just the title when I'm linking. It
doesn't even have to be a full-blown Hovercard - just the first few words are
likely to be enough. (Although reusing the Hovercards code makes sense, too.)
