Wicked can do this, I believe, and it will likely (pending voting) be in 
Plone 3.0. You write ((foo)) and you get a wiki link to foo, regardless 
of text format.

wicked is a bit AT specific, but whit is working to make it be more 
general, and factor out the re-usable bits. I'm sure he can chime in.

I think this is a more general problem - doing proper online/offline 
sync of content. I'd love to have offline capabilities in Plone, for 
example. :)
