I second Birkir.
You can also have a look at the implementation that is available on WCAG
2.0 guidelines page. Any term that needs additional description is
presented in the glossary section and a link is provided to the term
pointing to the definition.
Eg: In SC 1.1.1 non-text content, the link provided as follows.
<a title="definition: non-text content" href="#non-text-contentdef"
class="termref">non-text content</a>
Here is the link for WCAG 2.0 guidelines page.
