This has taken a little while to get to while I did some research into how feasible it is.

For the moment, I'm putting a [status-deferred] on this - I know that's not the answer you were hoping for, but it is the necessary answer. Adding a custom Markdown extension involves developing an extension for two separate Markdown rendering systems. It's not impossible, but it requires some extensive work and testing to be sure that it works correctly.

For a feature that ultimately comes down to adding a link that could also be added manually... the work this involves isn't worth the time it would take right now. Once we've finished more of the features we've got planned, we should be able to revisit this.
