Idea #14413: "Idea #1234" should be presented as a link, like bug trackers

bug This idea was marked as implemented the 22 July 11. Available starting Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.
Written by Endolith the 15 Oct 08 at 04:09. Related project: brainstorm.ubuntu.com. Status: Implemented
Rationale
Currently the only way to create links to other Brainstorm Ideas is to manually create "a href=" HTML tags. This is tedious.

implemented
Selected solution (#1): Automatic creation of links
Written by Endolith the 15 Oct 08 at 04:09.
If I type something like "Idea 1234" or "idea #1234" or "idea:1234" in a comment on Brainstorm, it should automatically become a link to that idea: Idea 1234

This would be exactly the same as in bug trackers like Bugzilla where "Bug 1234" becomes a link.

Yeah, this could be done with search & replace using regular expressions.

s/idea #[0-9]/a href="/idea/$1"/g

Yes. I am sure Bugzilla already has a very nice regexp, which we can just replace "bug" with "idea".

This wasn't implemented, was it? Idea 1234, Idea #1234, Idea: 1234.

Nope.
