Feature Description

A lot of people are using Jira or other issue trackers to track their development efforts. A way to link gitea PRs and other resources to an issue would be nice. (This could also work for Jenkins links and other links you might reference, maybe even an entirely different instance of gitea)

Bitbucket.org has a pretty simple implementation which would be simple enough to implement in my opinion.
(ref: https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/link-to-a-web-service/)

Define a regex with capture groups
Define a link template using those capture groups

My screenshot illustrates how a string "MYISSUE-1234" for example could be turned into a link to https://jira.gitea.com/MYISSUE-1234

Relevant places this regex should apply to:

Commit Messages
Pull Request Titles
Pull Request Body
Pull Request Comments
Issue Titles
Issue Body
Issue Comments
more suggestions welcome

Overall this feature is similar how you might reference an issue or PR from gitea like #23000 or so, but with a custom URL.

Oh I'm sorry. I didn't see that option at all because I had an the issue tracker disabled.

Yes that's exactly what I was looking for.

Only thing it doesn't do that I like is searching PR Titles. Do I have it misconfigured or is that just not supported currently?

Sorry I didn't get the point about searching PR Titles. If it doesn't work as your expectation, maybe it's not implemented yet.

Nevermind it works, just have to use a regex instead of a alphanumeric matcher since that alphanumeric matcher wants a space around the text.

So everything works great! Sorry for the trouble.
