Hi-

I've implemented "dynamic links" which are like plain links but for
arbitrary regular expressions.

I was wondering if there was a better way to do this?

You can see the implementation here:
https://github.com/sri/dotfiles/commit/cd3429ce0c8e637c803835299c2ed4653d19a5fb

(This works with Org-mode version: 8.3.4 - 8.3.4-88-g792bb9-elpa.)

With this config:

    (add-to-list 'my-org-dynamic-links-matcher
                 '("\\([[:alpha:]]\\{2,5\\}-[[:digit:]]+\\)"
                   "https://some-ticketing-system.org/%s"))

a string like `TEST-122' is turned into a link, as you type it in.
And when you click on that link, it'll visit this URL:
https://some-ticketing-system.org/TEST-122

There are some things that gave me problems:

- I can't hit <return> and have it follow the link. For this, it seems
  like I would need to advice the `org-return' function.

- Despite the fact that the `TEST-123' has a `htmlize-link' text property,
  it errors out with "No link found". To fix that, I needed to add a hook to
  `org-open-at-point-functions'.

- I had to copy a bunch of code from `org-activate-plain-links' to get
  this to work.

Thanks,
-Sriram
