How to create listener to catch links between issues

[grundic]

I would like to create listener to catch "link" event. I read https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/Plugin+Tutorial+-+Writing+event+listeners+with+the+atlassian-event+library - but it seems, that Jira don't have such an event.

How can I catch such an event?

I don't think any link event is raised... Vote for https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-8505

Yep, my link in answer forwards exectly to this issue. Already voted ;)

But you hadn't added your comment when I wrote that ;-) And the link in the link was from me. How circular ;-)

It seems, that no event is fired - http://forums.atlassian.com/thread.jspa?messageID=257244080&#257244080

Is there some alternative method to catch it?

Hrm... database trigger? Which writes links to some additional table. You have a service that processes each links then deletes them from the additional table. Just a thought.
