Can we create custom formatters for text to automatically create HTML links

In some systems, e.g. GitHub and Redmine, the system can automatically recognize certain formatted text and use it to create internal links, e.g. #1234 is recognized as an Issue Reference, and commit:abcde is recognized as a commit in the Repository. The system can then replace these pieces of text with a link to the relevant page. I would like to be able to create something similar, so that when I type #1234 in a status update or comment in a specific workspace, Podio can automatically replace it with a link to the external system that holds the item I am referring to.

  Hi Roger,

  in status posts and comment you can use these 3 ways - and Podio will replace the text with a link to the item:

  • If you paste the entire link, it will replace it with a markdown link with the title of the item as the label
  • If unique id is enabled on the app with a prefix, you can use it with a hashtag, like this: #prefix-1
  • Using the full item id (get it from the developer icon on the item view), you can link to it using #item-1234567.

  @Rainer Thanks for answering posting an answer here. It was what i was looking for.
  
  @Podio, can you post a link to comment formatting (and tips and tricks like this), on the comment or comment creation documentation page (and status page)? That would be really useful!
