I don't agree with your suggestion. Although you have to type one
extra character it makes perfectly sense for me. Imagine this simple
text: "Find out [[more ->
www.example.com/path/to/particlular/page.html]]." In my opinion it is
better readable then "Find out [[
www.example.com/path/to/particlular/page.html | more]]". In first
case, your mind can concentrate on semantics - if you don't care about
the link during reading, you can just skip the part after ->. In
second case you have to read the link because you don't know if there
will be any link text.

I use the [[link text->link]] syntax primarily and I also redefined
the GUI button for my users. The other syntax I use only with title
text [[link | +]] because it does not have corresponding syntax with
->.
