It's always possible, particularly if you're willing to try your hand at
the coding.

The old code was awkward and took 20 lines to do what is now accomplished
in a single regular expression.  Let's not go back to that.

Instead try something like

regexprep (text, '@seealso *\{([^}]*)\}', replace_function("$1"));

where replace_function accepts a string argument, which is the inside of
the @seealso{} block, and where replace_function returns a string value
which will entirely replace the @seealso reference.

Good luck,
Rik

p.s. replace_function was just a casual name choice.  You can use something
more appropriate.
