I like this idea. Over on the HTML docs side
(https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/pull/2040)
I've been working on a way to show an interactive tooltip from the glossary when
people hover over "jargon" terms. The goal there is to make the glossary a lot
more discoverable.
Right now it only works for terms inside angle brackets (like `<ref>`), but
I've been thinking of adding a `linkgitglossary:` AsciiDoc macro or something
(similar to `linkgit:`) to link terms to specific glossary entries. It's hard
to tell what that should do in the terminal version of the man pages
(maybe nothing!), but it could make the HTML versions a lot easier to use.
