Special link syntax options

I feel like I've just stumbled across all the link syntax... for
example @username, "work item 122" or "attachment
12" will all be changed into links that link to the appropriate
item. Has anyone found some documentation on all the possible link
types? I'm just wondering if I'm missing out on other features.

Mail links like user@company.com are also detected and turn into a
mailto: link, and URLs will also be automatically detected. The
mechanism is extensible, but I am not aware of any other link detector
types than the ones mentioned here.

The aliases for work item types are configurable in the Process
Configuration editor. You can e.g. configure 'rfe' and would get
automatic links for 'rfe 1234'.

Cool -- where in the Process Configuration editor can I change this? I don't see it anywhere in there.

--Case

You would e.g. open the Project in Eclipse switch over to the process configuration tab and go to Project Configuration>Configuration Data>Work Items>Types and Attributes.

Some information can be found here: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rtc/v2r0m0/topic/com.ibm.team.workitem.doc/topics/t_customizing_work_items.html

Thanks for the tip -- I didn't know what Alias had even meant before.

Is there any support for arbitrary aliases? So, where I could make up an alias of "revision" and when I say "revision 13245" it automatically makes a link in the comment that is something like "http://my.svn.viewer/changeset/13245"? Is there a link syntax that I can use in descriptions or comments to roll my own links (where the text of the link is arbitrary)?

I honestly don't know. If there are ways to extend this mechanism I'd suggest to have a look at https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RtcSdk20 and to search the extending Team Concert forum http://jazz.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=2.

It is an extensible mechanism. Please take a look at

com.ibm.team.foundation.common.TextLinkDetector

and its subclasses.
