Another option would be to extend `custom interpreted text roles`_ to roles
based on hyperlink targets and hyperlink references.

__ http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#custom-interpreted-text-roles

Concept: 
  Two special roles :hyperlink-reference: and :hyperlink-target: are
  defined (similar to the `:raw:`__ role).

  __ http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/roles.html#raw
	 
  Then, the rSText::
	 
    .. role:: emph-link(hyperlink-target)
    
    :emph-link:`here`
    
  would create a target with class argument::
  
        <target ids="target" names="target" classes="emph-link">
            target

  that could be styled accordingly.


Maybe we could also allow a combination of hyperlink syntax and role syntax
like::

  This is an _`important target`:emphasis: and a very :strong:`bold link`_.
  
This makes use of the fact that the `interpreted text`__ role can be
specified on either side.
