He thinks several things:
- it may be fairly easy to implement using the wikiforms view template
  feature, which is designed to extract form field values from a wiki
  page and display them to a specified template

- it gives fast feedback during the development process: I click on
  a link; do I see the data I expect to see? No; grrr.

- if the page contains a bibliography at the end, the link would
  go to the relevant entry instead (see Christian's use cases)
