I support this proposal and have used it previously as a local
customisation. However, please test

[[WikiPage"Tooltip title (on mouse-over)"]]

and its variants. I had to patch pmwiki.php to extract the tooltip text
before bracketed text is removed. Otherwise, the above example produces
"Tooltip title" as the link title. The following variant continues to
display WikiPage:

[[WikiPage(Name)"Tooltip title (on mouse-over)"]]

I prefer this option because it is consistent with existing syntax for
other kinds of link.
