I think certain common idioms can be implemented by a client as a UI pretification, for example the frequently seen square bracket citations could be expanded [like this] or this [1]. The community could encourage this idiom as it is very gemini-friendly. => scheme://domain/path1 [like this] => scheme://domain/path2 [1] I'm working on a UI playground to explore some of these ideas, among others, hope to have something to show soon. - Luke
