At the moment it gets expanded into &hellip; (ellipsis).

The most general solution is a Fmt variable that controls the 
output of `. from teasers; for example it could produce:
   - '&hellip;'
   - '[[$FullName | (more&hellip;)]]]]'
   - '[[$FullName?action=edit | (edit)]]

and so on. The teaser script would take care of name substitution.

The advantage of a Fmt variable is that an administrator can
ensure consistent behaviour wiki-wide or per-group. It would
allow different teasers of the same page giving different results
in different contexts.

The disadvantage is that the author has no control over the effects
of using `. markup.

My inclination is to go for a Fmt variable as the smallest incremental
change and see if that is sufficient.

And Christian reminded me that if the page contains [[#teaser]]
the paragraph following this gets returned if no anchor is
specified.
