In TeXShop, you can click on a piece of content (for example,
a word) and choose sync and you are sent directly to the 
part of the source corresponding to that word. It would be great
if that could happen for wikis.

I don't know what TeXShop is, so "like in TeXShop" is not helpful.
Still I don't understand what is requested here. I click a word in the content of a wiki page (preferably in "Edit" mode), and I am send to which source, and why?
Could you come up with a specific example and exact steps to reproduce, plus the current outcome and the expected outcome? Thanks.

Write now, you decide what is wrong, click on edit and then
search through markup for the word was misspelled or phrase
which needs to be checked. 

  An alternate approach would be to allow someone to mark 
a word with a mouse, right click, choose "edit wiki page"
and then have the computer open the editor AND move
the cursor to the part of the markup relevant to that 
word in the text. It looks through the mark up for you
and saves everyone time.

This will mostly get fixed by VisualEditor which you can already try out:

Closing as WORKSFORME.
