Description
I think the way inline links are currently implemented is way to difficult to write. I don't really want to use HTML for this purpose if there is another way. Maybe you can offer support for existing Markdown extensions that cover that functionality.
I am mainly familiar with MultiMarkdown and if you define in example a heading there like this:
```
# My heading
```
You can just link to it using this:
```
[My heading]()
```
I think that's way easier.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating MacDown’s existing inline-link implementation and reviewing how Markdown headings and link targets are currently parsed. Done means the simpler [My heading]() syntax resolves to the corresponding heading without requiring HTML, with tests covering the behavior.
