Get Clickable Jira Links in Your Org Files


Get clickable links to Jira issues from your Org notes:

(setq bug-reference-bug-regexp "\\b\\(\\([A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]\\{1,10\\}-[0-9]+\\)\\)"
      bug-reference-url-format "https://jira.example.com/browse/%s")
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'bug-reference-mode)

What the above setting, you get a clickable Jira link when you write FOO-1000. The file itself doesn't contain the link, if you've just written FOO-1000, that's what the file will contain. It's a link overlay that's in the editor only.

If you want to follow the links without using the mouse, you can hit C-c RET.

Neat, eh?

Note, the Org shortcut for following links, org-open-at-point, will not work since this link overlay is provided by bug-reference-mode and not org-mode (that would've been nice, though).
