Automation of create JQL for custom field search

Question

Hi!  When I click on '"Component" field (e.g.) in details view, Jira generate automatically JQL like " project = "My project" AND component = "My component" ".

And i see all issues for this component.

How to make the same functionality for custom field (short text)?

(of cource, JQL can be entered manually, but not all users want to do it)

Short text fields do not hold options, they hold strings, so there's no way to enumerate them like you can for components.
