Sorry, my fault! You're completely right.

I just checked Moin (my previous wiki), and it does exactly that. When I have an idea how Zim could do that, I'll open a feature request.

No! Just more complex to parse. Wiki syntax is always a compromise between easy to write/read and non-ambiguous.

I re-checked all my texts in Zim and Moin (with grep ;-). Perhaps #anchor# would still be a nice variant, but without white-space or newlines between. This would be easy to write/read, and seems very uncommon in normal texts or even source code. An inline anchor definition would then be:
  [asciichar<=32] '#' [asciichars>32] '#' [asciichar<=32]
(I know, Zim is utf8 - with ascii it's just simpler here)
