Why is it so difficult? Every MMO since FFXI that I know of or played first-hand has managed to implement this feature either at launch or shortly afterwards.

Honestly its the same functionality that these Forums just recently implemented with the [ item] [/item ] tags; other games use XML for their IRC/chat client and use Xlinks to dynamically link items and tool tips. If SE doesn't use this system currently, they should look into implementing it. Tear it down and start over, just get it done before all of these non-essential fixes or fluff like seasonal events.
