Thread:User talk:CodeCat/mentioning a term, but not linking to it

Not just in head; in example sentences, and even in etymology section this is sometimes needed. Everything is like l and term, we tag it, mention transliteration, gloss, etc., but just not linking to anything, My first thought was moving tag_text and that function for automated transliteration, which is now removed from the source code, to another module, say Module:term. But now I think why not turning Module:links to a code that is for mentioning terms, which may be linked, or have links?

Regarding "l", of course I knew it was l, it's funny I don't know why typed 1. lol
