  It looks like this should be a simple case for an admin to add the following to functions.php

  function clickable_ellipsis($content){
  
  	$searchfor = '/[(…)]/';
  	$replacewith = '[<a href="'.get_permalink().'">$1</a>]';
  
  	$content = preg_replace($searchfor, $replacewith, $content, 1);
  	return $content;
  
  }
  
  add_filter('the_excerpt', 'clickable_ellipsis');

  Hmm, it’s autoformatted.

  $searchfor = '/[(…)]/';

  should read:

  $searchfor = '/[(& # 8 2 3 0;)]/';

  without the spaces near 8230
