Sorry this is rather late in coming...

I'm wondering if this might be better served up as a WP plugin, rather
than editing the various pages directly in the WP install and your
theme? You could include an admin page that will let you configure
things as you'd like.

Take a look at the blackbirdpie plugin
(http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-blackbird-pie/) to get an
idea of how something like this might be done. You could set up some
markup that could be included in your WP post to a wiki page, like:

[PmWiki url="http://wiki.example.com/pmwiki/Group/Page"]

Also, rather than embedding the styles in the link HTML, I'd specify a
class and then in your theme you can give the appropriate style info.

Doing it this way will make the functionality you're seeking
independent from the wordpress installation itself, any theming, which
can be a good thing.
