Hi!

I’m starting to use the automatic links on watched words.

I’d like them to have a different style from other links since our watched words (technical terms, acronyms…) are all related to the topic of our forum: a niche sport.

Would it be possible to automatically add a custom class to them? Like:

```xml
<a class="watched-word">some text</a>

```

I think this is a really good idea.
