Well, it's a nice approach.
But it has a few cons:
1. Putting text in a source block is not a very natural way. It may disturb the fluidity, both for writing the Org source and reading the exported document(e.g. html);2. The bug Eric just found while putting a <<...>> link within quotes, although, it may be easy to fix.

 It seems like this is nearly all possible already (see below). It is a little wonky that you have to put text in a src txt block to achieve it, but otherwise what is missing?
