On gemini, it's not mandatory to have everything as gemtext which would be reducing Gemini potential. Like it is often done in gopher, people can have gemtext files as menus with their texts files in markdown that could be opened with a nice markdown viewer program, and links with gemini:// scheme from the markdown file would be opened using the gemini client. That would be like using opening a PDF from a website and clicking on a link in the PDF :) The workflow may not seem optimal but it's perfectly doable with the current state of the protocol.
