I realise I am 6 years too late to this, and hopefully you still read the comments: The trouble I have with this proposal is that I can not select the text inside the linked paragraph without triggering the onclick which then takes me to the link.

Beautifully written article Jeremy, though as a JS n00b I had a question about mustard-cutting: Should I do the mustard-cutting test for every JavaScript function that is used in the code? I ask so I can improve my marginalia code: https://github.com/kartikprabhu/marginalia/blob/master/marginalia.js

“And, perhaps, our need to find something real at the base of myth, something to have caused the stories. Wanting there to be some magic in the dirt. Just a little bit. Just enough to justify the centuries of dreaming.” — @WarrenEllis in http://morning.computer/2014/11/political-wizard/ A possible refutation of my rant: https://kartikprabhu.com/article/science-in-science-fiction
