The wikibook has this feature. The book authors have made templates
that, if used, will make, e.g., a reserved word into a link to a pages
with info about the word.  There are some programs and editor macro
files (Vim and Emacs) to help with automatic addition of such.  These
are mentioned on the wikibook authors' pages (in wikibook.org).

One of these programs is the following. I should prepare an update,
though, for some new wikibook template syntax.
