Hi Nathaniel,

Sorry for responding so late. Afraid that what you try to do can not be
implemented as a pure plugin. You will need to patch the core code of the
pageview to accomplish this.

The reason is that the gtk.TextTag is private within the editor widget. The
parsetree only passes on the content of the page, but indeed does not
contain the widget objects.

So to implement this feature the parsetree needs to be updated to contain a
link attribute whether or not the target exists, plus the widget should be
updated to understand this attribute and render the link differently.

Regards,

Jaap
