Definition hyperlinks in text #211

Description

@oobagi

Summary

Allow referencing definition terms inline within text content using a hyperlink-like syntax (e.g., [[API]] or similar). Referenced terms should be visually highlighted/underlined in the rendered output.

Behavior

  • In edit mode: the reference syntax is visible as typed
  • In view mode: the term renders as underlined/highlighted text
  • Clicking a definition reference in view mode opens a modal popup showing the term and its definition inline — similar to the embed sheet but smaller/lighter
  • Only terms that exist as Definition List blocks in the current note should resolve; unresolved references render as plain text or with a "not found" indicator

Motivation

Definitions are already first-class blocks, but there's no way to reference them from other parts of the note. This creates a lightweight knowledge-linking system within a single note.
