This seems a good idea, both for the Text and the Comments fields.
Could you please file an item with the RFE tracker over at the
sf.net project site?

Actually, that's what the date displayer does. If you look at
src/date/Date_*.py you will see two classes: Parser and Displayer
for each available language. While writing a localized parser is
tough, writing localized displayer is not that hard. It still makes
more sense writing localized displayer than translate English dates.
If you would like to write one for Swedish, please let me know and
I should be able to help.

This would be nice. Whenever we get more time...

The pages are using the internal handles that are never changing
for any given person/family/place/source/media. So you're safe
inserting links to the primary objects like that.

It would be nice to have an interface allowing an easy link creation.
Any idea what it could be?
