Ignore link syntax in criteria when filtering on link fields

I'd like to submit one feature request, though I'm not sure how plausible it is. I came across this issue: I have a value I'd like to display elsewhere which is identified by one field's data being "ES012". However, for display purposes, the value as it is entered is "ES012", as I need it to display in a wikilink. Thus, I've defined the column as "wikistring", as this appears neccisary to make the link display correctly. Here is where my issue comes in: to repeat the data, I must put

criteria="Description=ES012"

rather than the more intuitive

criteria="Description=ES012"

So again, I'm not sure if it's possible or plausible to strip out the wikilink symbols when searching the table with the repeat tag, but it's something I'd very much like to see.
