RTC Eclipse Client: Does workitem hyperlinking no longer work in the Java editors?
In the RTC rich client, it used to be the case that with Window/Preferences/General/Editors/Text Editors/Hyperlinking enabled, specifically "Jazz Hyperlinks", one could embed the text "workitem 123456" in a comment, such that when the mouse hovered over the text with Ctrl depressed, you would see a hyperlink popup to navigate to the workitem in a new tab. This worked for "bug", "defect", "workitem", and others.
Since 5.0.x I no longer see this behavior. This with a plain vanilla RTC client - no additional plugins, and no errors in the error log. Has the functionality been dropped? What does "Jazz Hyperlinks" mean then, as a preference?

If I then click on it, the work item will be opened in a new tab. If I just leave the mouse there for a few seconds, a tooltip appears showing the brief description of the work item. This is with RTC Eclipse client 5.0.2.

I find a funny behavior and I think it's a defect - the "Open Work Item" menu appears in the popup triggered by "URL", not "Jazz Hyperlinks" - it appears that the feature is implemented in the wrong place. Here is how it looks like
