Hyperwords appear to be closely related to generic links, an area in which there is a good deal of interesting research since the late 1980's. For some leads, and a summary of a few of the difficulties that research groups encountered, see

In particular, relying on automatically-generated links (e.g. links to search engines) makes it harder, not easier, to express the structure of an argument or an idea
