I am filing this ticket despite https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410284 with the assumption that its comment #1 is correct.

I put this ticket in the "general" component, but I suppose nothing prevents addressing this with a code customization... please feel free to change the component as you wish.

As discussed in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409930 it would be very handy if, when a description or comment referred to a ticket using phrasing like "ticket #123456", that this text be automatically made a link to the ticket mentioned (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123456).

This already works for bugs, as can be seen in ticket #409930 comment #2, but only when using the misleading form "bug #123456", and not for tickets, as ticket #409913's comment #1 shows.

As ticket #409930 comment #1 implies, KDE has 2 ticketing systems, bugs.kde.org and https://phabricator.kde.org/maniphest/
The latter has for some time used the term "ticket" to refer to any of its entries, as can be seen on https://community.kde.org/Sysadmin
Therefore, referring to a KDE ticket by its number could be ambiguous.

Thankfully, that system now refers to its entries as "tasks", with identifiers of the form "Td+" (for example, "T341"). I therefore recommend that references like "ticket 123456" are not automatically linked, only those with a hash, distinguishing between "ticket #123456" and "ticket T123456".
