How much of this is down to the examples chosen? It seems to me that in practice you would generally use it with a specific link in mind (like the "Rust prehistory" or "notes on a smaller rust") ones; although I can see that those might be a bit more cumbersome to show in the post, given that they might use longer queries.
> It’s not that I don’t know what I want to link to. Most of the posts I write are responses to things I’ve read. I know what I want to link to, but I don’t want to lose flow to hunt down a link while writing. I could go back at the end and insert links retrospectively, but it takes more time than I’d like to hop between browser, editor, and what I was thinking about at that point. It would be nice if I could mark links as I write, while still being able to refine each link in-editor as I edit and revise later.
