Hmm this convention of using square bracket note-citations inline, followed by the URL. It seems nice and gemini-friendly.

How widely used is that? Can it be "recommended" as a good practice if you want to do inline links?

I'm thinking if it is a sufficiently established practice, clients can look for this pattern. And then when a suitably designed client if it sees this, could reverse the process to provide an inline clickable link, and then no need to duplicate the URL in the displayed content

e.g. Source of

"some text with a citation [1] more text etc

=
> gemini://domain/path [1]

next paragraph"

is then simply rendered as

"some text with a citation [1] more text etc

next paragraph"

and when rendered by the client, the "[1]" is an active element.
