I've been using a very simple workaround.  Instead of just linking like this

[[{$Name}]]

I do this

[[{$Name}?action=browse]]

Now the link remains a link, because markup extensions sensibly does
not class links with parameters as self-links.  Since there aren't
very many self-links without parameters that ought to be self-links,
this works nicely for me.
