Extensible Reference Filters: [alert:123]
Problem
We are running out of ASCII characters to use as prefixes in reference filter short-codes. We've reached a consensus on a more scalable reference syntax (&7563), but we need to formally support it.
Proposal
- Currently supported:
^alert#123
- Add support for referencing repo files via
[alert:123]
- Include support for autocomplete
- Consideration: How will this work in the future for dynamic work item types? It would be ideal to treat the types as first-class references but this would also potentially introduce naming collisions and require more dynamic references.
