Multiple Parsing Stages / Parsers

Greetings,

I am using MediaWiki for gathering and structuring content
for a
research project and am trying to implement a customized
version of the
BibTex extension
http://gsc2.cemif.univ-evry.fr/ind
ex.php/Mediawiki_extensions#Bibtex_extension

Basically the extension (called via a custom <citetex>
tag) takes input
from a template, processes the BibTex information found
there and
outputs a book/article reference. Some of that information
(like author
names) shall be processed as wikitext (e.g. to link to the
author page
inside the Wiki). 
It shall be possible for the <citetex> tag to occur
multiple times on a
page referencing different "source-templates".

Using the parser object passed to the extensions render
function:

	function renderCiteBook( $input, $argv, &$parser) {
	// do some processing of the input here -> $string
	$localOutput = $parser->parse($string,
$parser->mTitle,
$parser->mOptions, false);
	$output .= $string->getText();
	}

results in all but the last <citetex> instance to be
output as an UNIQ
object.

Following the instructions on
http://meta.w
ikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_extensions_FAQ#How_do_I_render_w
ikitext_in_my_extension.3F
(that is creating a new local parser object inside the
render-function
and using the parse() method of that instance) solved this
problem and
wikitags are now parsed correctly.
What this approach does not accomplish, is creating the
appropriate
wiki-references (no exact idea how they are created and
stored in the
wiki-db) so "whatlinkshere" and "wanted
pages" etc. don't work for
content/links parsed in this way.

So: do you have an idea or suggestion on how to get the
backlinks etc.
references working also for wiki-links created by an
extension?

Thanks alot for your help,
Hinnerk
