Adding title to all links

I’m migrating from Movable Type where I developed a plugin that added a title attribute to all links. Is there a way to develop such plugin in textpattern to

When the user saves the article I want to scan through the body text and find all links. Then if the link doesn’t contain a title attribute I want to add it. I’m using a simple file cache to look up the titles.

So I the user posts a body with:
Hello <a href=“http://gemal.dk/”>gemal</a>

I want to change that to:
Hello <a href=“http://gemal.dk/” title=“Gemal’s site”>gemal</a>

Where do I need to hook into textpattern to do this?

Re: Adding title to all links

I’d suggest catching the “article” event, at least for the “save” and “publish” steps, or even at the “preview” step, too.
