Except when we have:
   $LinkWikiWords = 1;

Is it an idea to get something like:
   $LinkLonelyInterMap = 1;

Not that I care that much, your suggestion to use Markup() is much better suited for what I want.

I don't think you have to escape the closing square brase (\\]), It has no special meaning atached to it since the opening one is already escaped.
After fooling around a bit I came up with the following set of Markups:

# fixed pair of references
Markup('[*^]', '<links', '/(?<!\\[)\\[\\*\\^]/', '[[#top]]');
Markup('[*_]', '<links', '/(?<!\\[)\\[\\*_]/',   '[[#bottom]]');

# jump (with a fixed name) to a reference, fixed label.
Markup('[^]',  '<links', '/(?<!\\[)\\[\\^]/',    '[[#top | top]]');
Markup('[_]',  '<links', '/(?<!\\[)\\[_]/',      '[[#bottom | bottom]]');

# jump (with a fixed name) to a reference, free style label.
Markup('[^x]', '<links', '/(?<!\\[)\\[\\^([a-zA-Z0-9]+?)]/', "[[#top | $1]]");
Markup('[_x]', '<links', '/(?<!\\[)\\[_([a-zA-Z0-9]+?)]/',   "[[#bottom | $1]]");

# general reference and jump.
Markup('[*x]', '<links', '/(?<!\\[)\\[\\*([a-zA-Z0-9]+?)]/', "[[#$1]]");
Markup('[x]',  '<links', '/(?<!\\[)\\[([a-zA-Z0-9]+?)]/',    "[[#$1 | $1]]");

They work fine and are not too hard to memorise. Of cause, you can misuse the names and place the 'top' reference at te bottom of your document. It's a free world.

Thanks for the idea and your time.
