How about the following links, where the link text is shown to the right:
[[Some other page]] -> Some other page
[[a page -> Some other page]] -> Some other page
[[Some {other} page]] -> Some page
[[Some {-other} page]] -> Some page
[[Some other page{+s}]] -> Some other pages
[[Some {-other} page{+s}]] -> Some other pages
It is getting a tad complicated, I also think you want to hide text more
often than you want to add. What do you think?
