At least it would be consistent with the other settings

I don't see the advantage of a hardcoded string, especially if there is
a good chance that the string is not unique.

Your idea can be implemented with no problem at all as there are several
hooks in the core which can be used to modify the content just before
presenting it to the user (hooks before writing the cache and also after
that). Therefore your wishes can already be fulfilled with my patch.

I got a customer which use TYPO3 for building a knowledgebase which is
basically pages with much content. Most of it is restricted to special
users and they always use linktexts like "More information about this,
see here".

Of course the uses cases are a bit limited but TYPO3 was chosen because
of the great right management which misses just a few settings for
special projects. See also #15283 (pending in core list in some minutes)
