My current solution, besides paranoid archiving for Internet links, is to exploit tool tips: so the full title & authors exists in the page, but entirely unobtrusive to readers of either the article or comments. It seems to be working out so far.
I couldn't find this quickly: What's the Markdown and HTML for adding tooltips?
In Markdown, it goes like
[displayed text](hyperlink "tooltip alt text"); in HTML I think it's an additional argument to<a>or<href>which goestitle="tooltip alt text", so for my example above:Markdown:
[paranoid archiving for Internet links](http://www.gwern.net/Archiving%20URLs "'Archiving URLs', gwern 2013")HTML:
<a href="<http://www.gwern.net/Archiving%20URLs>" rel="nofollow" title="'Archiving URLs', gwern 2013">paranoid archiving for Internet links</a>This should probably be added to the official formating help page of lesswrong.

I like this solution a whole lot. I'm late for work so I won't search for the specific occasion but I seem to recall I've suggested stealing it for LW.
