I like to use markdown's reference links with the implicit name syntax.  It allows keeping a table of links seperate from the referencing link.
However, what I don't like is that I have no way of (optionally) including the table of links in the markdown's output.
For instance, in the example:
I get 10 times more traffic from [Google][] than from
[Yahoo][] or [MSN][].
  [google]: http://google.com/        "Google"
  [yahoo]:  http://search.yahoo.com/  "Yahoo Search"
  [msn]:    http://search.msn.com/    "MSN Search"
The hypertext it produces is fine, and includes the links as defined by the reference links.  But I would like additionally to be able to have the table of links appears elsewhere in the html output.  
Is there some way of extending markdown in this direction.
Perhaps a syntax like [][] would produce a table of links, and [][id1,id2] would produce the table for just links with ids of id1 or id2.....
