That has a limit of 255 characters for the definition, though. This is similar to one of the methods described in one of the TechRepublic articles but does not use the HyperLink field.

These could also be saved as AutoText or Building Blocks for easy insertion. I would recommend using names that are related to the terms but not the same as the terms. i.e.
Code:
Term Item Name for AutoText or BB Entry
Contractor zContractor
Final Date zFDate
Start Date zSDate
Items stored as AutoText or Building Blocks could be used in a BB Gallery Control which could be on the Ribbon or in a QAT entry.
