I think ConnectedText can do this as well, the auto link function,
though I've never actually tried it.

The help file says "Auto link is especially useful when text is pasted
into a topic. It avoids adding links manually, an operation that can be
time-consuming if the projects contains hundreds of topics."

There is an option to only link to the first occurrence of each topic
name found, to avoid having too many links that are the same.

Indeed, it has a similar feature to the one I am describing. But it is not exactly the same, since it doesn't allow for the use of aliases (as far as I know/remember).

This is exactly how the unmatched link/reference feature in
Roam/Obsidian I described earlier works. Unless I’m still not
understanding something?

If you are on a mac, you could try and see for your self.
I have both DEVONthink and Obsidian open right now in front of me and I can assure that they do not share the same capabilities in this regard.
