If you were using PHP Markdown, You could write a little extension  
like this:

     class PreLinkedMarkdown_Parser extends Markdown_Parser {
         var $preurls = array();
         var $pretitles = array();
         function PreLinkedMarkdown_Parser($preurls = array(),  
$pretitles = array()) {
             parent::Markdown_Parser();
             $this->$preurls = $preurls;
             $this->pretitles = $pretitles;
             $this->document_gamut["fillPreURLs"] = -999;
         }
         function fillPreURLs($text) {
             $this->urls = $this->preurls;
             $this->titles = $this->pretitles;
             return $text;
         }
     }

and use your parser like this:

     // read you link file once and populate arrays this way:
     $preurls = array('link-ref' => 'url');
     $pretitles = array('link-ref' => 'title'); // optional

     $parser = new PreLinkedMarkdown_Parser($preurls, $prelinks);
     $html = $parser->transform($text);

(Note that I haven't tested any of this code)

If there is enough interest, I could add this feature to the regular  
PHP Markdown Parser class.
