[MlMt] Link to local doc

Sort of a related question - Markdown **Cross References**.

I couldn't find a list online of exactly what is supported by the 
sundown (deprecated?) markdown engine that MailMate uses in at least 
some places. I would assume it's the baseline text defined in John 
Gruber's [Markdown 
Syntax](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax/) page, but 
happily MailMate supports tables per the MultiMarkdown spec.

So I thought MailMate may support Cross References, as mentioned in the 
MultiMarkdown [Human Markdown 
Reference](https://rawgithub.com/fletcher/human-markdown-reference/master/index.html) 
Cross Reference section, it should be possible to do:

---

```
You can place a link to a point in your document like this [one][], or 
[another][] place in the doc.

## one ##

A simple subheading in a larger document with the same name as the 
referring tag.

## Another place in the document [another] ##

Another place in the document that is referenced by the [another] tag in 
the heading
```

---

Yet when you try this example, you actually get:

---

You can place a link to a point in your document like this [one][], or 
[another][] place in the doc.

## one ##

A simple subheading in a larger document with the same name as the 
referring tag.

## Another place in the document [another] ##

Another place in the document that is referenced by the [another] tag in 
the heading

---

Would now be a good time to move MailMate's markdown support to 
MultiMarkdown, since MultiMarkdown seems to offer more features and is 
still developing?
