We routinely create pages on Confluence by taking data from external sources, building HTML, and POSTing the page to .../api/content.
The pages usually have a bunch of Jira links (e.g. https://{instance}.atlassian.net/browse/{ticket}).
The issue is that the Jira links are created as plain HTML links. If the link is inserted in the page editor, it turns into a smart link (inline view):
I've been reading about macros but haven't found guidance on what we need to create the pages so that Jira links are already smart links.

The current workaround is to publish the page, then copy/paste each link over itself to trigger the macro in the editor, which is rather tedious.
Have you managed to find a solution? We are having the same problem, and I have no idea where to dig.
No, we're still hoping to find an answer.
