Problem to solve
The current logic of Custom Issue Tracker does not allow to mention issues from two different projects.
Target audience
Any developer who wants to mention different projects's issues in one merge request/comment via Custom Issue Tracker.
Further details
There is a number of cases when I need to refer PROJECT1-111 and PROJECT2-222 in one merge request in PROJECT1 repository. With Custom Issue Tracker I can link PROJECT1 issues only, cause the hyperlink "PROJECT2-222" will literally lead to PROJECT1-222. This is because
of the way GitLab parses the url to issue: https://customissuetracker.com/project-name/:id.
Proposal
Add an ability to parse id as a pair of PROJECT-internal_id, optionally with delimiter choosing. With that, both links like
https://customissuetracker.com/issues/PROJECT1-111 and https://customissuetracker.com/issues/PROJECT2-222 will be valid in one comment.
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
Links to issues from different projects are valid in one commentary.
