Instant linking to other articles while reading

Problem: I know that in the vast majority of articles, some terms haven't a link because they've been mentioned before, so it wouldn't be necessary to link them again. However, trying to find in the article where's the term which is linked can borrow you time -what's more, you could be searching for a link that doesn't exist. In the last case, you have to spend more time editing the page, and adding those links (you can search it on the search box after all, but anyway).
Proposed solution: Creating a function while reading. Upon normal text, the user can select a fragment of it believing that could be the title for an existing article. Then, the selected fragment, if it matches with the title of an article, it will show the article preview window, just as if it was a normal link.
Who would benefit: Common users that enter Wikipedia to check or deepen information, avoiding any distraction.

Oppose santropedro ctrl c>(ctrl f or ctrl l>enter (google search) or even a Wikipedia search if you have it as a default search engine) does the same and better and more customized, this proposal, likes most feature requests, its redundant, learn to do it with primitive methods, they are more reliable and universal across websites.

Support Seems easy in English, but not so much in languages with richer grammars. Should be made to work for most. SoupePrimordiale (talk) 07:10, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
