Issue

I'd like to be able to make arbitrary patterns hyperlinkable. Consider the old plugin, which seems to have recognized e-mail addressed and made them hyperlinkable. I'd like to do something similar with other patterns, such as with Python's bpo-NNNN (which would link to bugs.python.org/issues/NNNN).

I'd like to be able to achieve this while relying on the code within Hyper.js to render the links and handle the click events. Ideally, Hyper.js would offer a configuration parameter mapping regexes to their hyperlinks and allowing groups from the regexes to be specified in the resultant hyperlink. Extra credit if the rendering could also be a javascript function accepting the match object and returning the hyperlink.

Research direction

Start by reading Hyper.js's existing matched-pattern hyperlink rendering and click handling, then compare it with the linked hyperlinks plugin. Define how configuration maps regex matches to URLs, including capture groups and the optional match-object function. Done means arbitrary patterns such as Python bpo-NNNN can render as clickable links; the issue names no files or tests.
