-For external links, that is no concern, however. So you could define for each shortcut an alternative directive, that inserts the URL. Perhaps `\[[url shortcutname params]]` or `\[[@shortcutname params]]` (if the preprocessor supported the @), and this could be extended to local links in an obvious manner: `\[[url page]]` or `\[[@page]]`. Now, if you could just get rid off the parantheses for markdown, for the short inline links --[[tuomov]] (who'd really rather not have two separate linking mechanisms: ikiwiki's heavy syntax and markdown's lighter one).
