Not really (i don't like them ). 
What I'm looking for is an "editor" where I can
insert links to reltated 
stories/media just by a click and where I don't  have to
care, how the url 
for that related story is.  I know another (commercial)
Mason-based cms. 
There you assign related stories or media to a story, just
like you do with 
bricolage. Now when you edit the story  you have two
selection list where you 
can select the related/Story/media and insert in your text
at the current 
cursor postion. The insertion places a special TAG in your
text which is 
parsed and replaced during burning. I was just wondering if
something like 
this exist fro bric.

Well, there's the rich paragraph.

Not quite what you are looking for, but a step in the right 

direction.  We're using a modified version done up in Mason
to do our  
inline links.  You create a link element with the display
text, a  
reference key, and a related story/media.  Then in the Text
Area (or  
WYSIWYG), you type link[key] and it gets put into the text.

We were thinking of proposing something like what you are
talking  
about as a summer of code project.  Maybe provide further
integration  
with Xinha or something.
