is the a plugin or mechanism to specify auto-linking patterns in Jira comments?

[Trent Mick]

Is there a pluging or mechanism to specify a pattern (presumably with a regex) that Jira will turn into a link (HTML `<a>`). For example, say I have an assets tracker at my company where each asset has a number (e.g., "123"). I'd like to be able to specify a link pattern such that "asset 123" or "asset 456" in a Jira ticket comment will be changed to something like:

<a href="http://assets.example.com/asset/123">asset 123</a>

Is there something like that? I see a reference to a Greasemonkey script with a similar goal here (http://blogs.atlassian.com/developer/2007/02/autolinking_interesting_text_i.html) but that is from early 2007, so I'm wondering if things have moved on since then.

Thanks

Hello Trent,

I've posted same question last August in (nowadays old) forums: See here.

Answer was that I would have to create kind of plugin.

Unfortunately I did not find time to dig deeper into this topic.

=> So any help is still appreciated.

BR, Markus
