LOL. Oh yes. I have spent a lot of time thinking about this over the
past few years, so a lot of the issues discussed in this thread I have
thought of, but there have been some new ones. It has been a very
helpful discussion.

When the editor builds the list of related articles, that is
essentially what the automated process does.

I think what we can do is add some new functionality called 'Link to
Related Articles.' When the editor clicks the [Find Matches] button,
the system can return a list of the articles that match the title of
the article they are working on. This can also populate a dropdown
list of the articles, so the editor can highlight the text they want
to create the link to, then select the appropriate article from the
dropdown and click [Apply Link].

This does create more data entry for the editor and the rest of the
staff, but it should be much more accurate.
