Description
I know this feature has been requested before (example: http://wordpress.org/support/3/17546 ), and I also know the developers probably have more important things to work on.
That said, it'd be great to have a markup tag available when writing posts that would create soft links from one post to another. Something like:
<wp-link post-id="ID#">a different post</wp-link>
And a filter added to the_content that would convert that markup into a link at runtime. That way, only markup involving the post ID would be saved in the database so if the site url/permalinking structure changed in the future, all the internal post->post links would still work.

This can be done as plugin, can't it? I sugest doing it as plugin to mantain tha code as clean as possible.
[Read below] Shame on me, I didn't read all the issue. Sorry.

Plugin? Yes - see link in description and notes in Additional information. I don't doubt that there are other implementations as well.
As for the core: Make it as simple as possible. But no simpler.
If enough people want a feature, it should be standard. I imagine there are exceptions to this sweeping generality, but I think good soft linking is a valuable feature. Whether or not enough people agree with me, I don't know. I do, however, think most people link from post to post; these links should be made as robust as possible, thereby eliminating difficult support issues down the road ("I have to do _what_ with MySQL?")

Since this can already be done using a plugin, and that is the preferred way of handling specific feature requirements, please try that.
I will leave this as a feature request.
