Title: Wider links

Addresses the problem of very small click targets when using superscript identifiers by allowing the strings before and after the identifier to be within the link.

If you're worried about option screen clutter I could rework this with a single checkbox for "Place surrounding characters inside the link". This would give slightly less flexibility (characters would be in or out, but not both), but might look neater on the options screen.
