Instead, I suggest using regular (relative) markdown links for your
cross-references, and just using the regular syntax, as you would with
any other links. That way, we can instead make a command which opens a
general markdown link, either in the browser if it's an html page, or in
an image editor/textmate if it's a local file. I've personally wanted
such a command for a long time.
