There are studies that show hyperlinks may reduce reading comprehension 
by increasing cognitive overhead, and that how much is partly determined 
by how they are presented:

Overhead also seems depends on the background of the reader. Readers 
with more domain knowledge appear to be less affected by hyperlink 
presentation.

What Matthew has come up with might be a decent compromise.
