Sounds like you've already got the patent half-drafted!

  Bummer I'm not very technically- or enterprising-minded. Just curious of anything like this has ever been done/thought out before. I'd hope that if such a thing exists it'd be an open standard btw OT: Excuses for the messed up layout. Tried to find out why this is so, could not spot it.

    Okay, I'll give my non-sarcastic response :-) I think you're contradicting yourself when you first complain that "there exist no general mechanism to embed information from sources that don't expose such embed codes," but then say that your ideal solution involves "a website that supports this mechanism/protocol." That said, this is a conceivable use of oEmbed (http://www.oembed.com http://www.oembed.com). However, for text, I think what you're looking for is called a hyperlink :D
