That is exactly what I want!! Thank you!
Added bonus: it seems I can use this with any other mode.
I've updated the code:
https://github.com/sri/dotfiles/commit/3b2e42f488393dfc0f7fa91887877af5b195a20c
And I'm invoking it like so:
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(my-org-create-dynamic-link
"\\([[:alpha:]]\\{2,5\\}-[[:digit:]]+\\)"
"https://www.some-ticket-system/%s")))
