A backend which cluechains embedded link commands is a great idea.

I like the notion of manually embedding clues in the HTML.  So on
nat.org for example I could put a full_name="nat friedman" clue, or on a
page where I'm reviewing a movie I could put a movie title clue in,
which would make the IMDB entry come up in dashboard, etc.
