Bug Description

Request to add a function (either directly or as plugin) to auto-link all words. So similar to what is available for CamelCase but without requiring the case pattern. Links should show up as you type and incorrectly linked words can be un-done directly with ^Z.

Additional request to have an option to auto-link to pages anywhere in the hierarchy. In case multiple options are available with the same page name there options should be presented to the user (preferably with a popup menu).

This request is based on the discussion in bug #601055.

PLEASE do this. The only reason that I don't use Zim more is lack of an auto linking feature. It may be a fringe case, but it is very useful to me to not have to manually link pages.

Use cases for myself include novel documentation and rpg planning.
