I was actually thinking of this problem today with respect to converting 
content with in-line linking to Gemini format.

So far the best idea I could imagine is that during the conversion 
process the linked items are marked (for example, number in superscript) 
in reference to a list of links provided below, basically as a footnote 
or appendix either to the paragraph, section, or the entire page.

Maybe not ideal, but with a little experimentation this method could 
result in a format that's pleasing/readable and also navigable 
especially if the user can manipulate their client to jump to the link 
they want... for example, by numbers or tabbing through them or some 
other jump mechanism.

Or maybe Gemini should support in-line links of its own? It's already 
got some markdown elements in other aspects of page formatting.
