I would prefer one of:
[[link text > target words --link title]]
or
[[link text > target words "link title"]]
My fingers hate using shift briefly, I think...when trying for -> I
produce _>, and when I want [@stuff@], I type {@stuff@}.
The idea of having two syntaxes is lovely; I threw out the notion
prematurely because it seemed selfish, to ask for "my very own syntax",
and because it seemed to violate simplicity...but I think I was wrong.
For this, two options could be simpler than one.
