[DOXIA-429] Broken link syntax in APT

Description

A common cause of frustration is APT's linking feature. Consider this example: You want to link to an external resource without a name for the link. So you do write:

{{http://truezip.java.net}}

Some time later you decide you would prefer a name for the link, but you cannot insert

{name}

like so:

{{{TrueZIP User Website}http://truezip.java.net}} // BROKEN!

Rather than this, you have to reverse the order and write:

{{{http://truezip.java.net}TrueZIP User Website}}

So the URI effectively moves from

{{URI}}

to

{{{URI}NAME}}

This is really annoying!

I know you can't change this without breaking compatibility. So please provide a new linking feature, probably something like this:

[[URI]] and [[[NAME]URI]] respectively.
