Whoops!  There are 6--I had forgotten we added a bunch a year or so ago.

Mmm...  If I understand you correctly, you want to link between
entries.  PyBlosoxm doesn't make that easy to do.  I think you're
going to have to write a postformatter plugin or find someone who has
already written one that looks through your entry for some kind of
syntactical indicator and replaces the syntactical indicator with the
full url for the target entry.

I don't think this would be hard to write.  If you can't find anything
else out there that does this and you don't want to try writing a
plugin on your own, poke me and I can write it.
