[Qt-creator] Plugin: open bugtracker links from comments

[Liebe Markus (RtP2/TEF72)]

Hi there,

I have added a new "mode" to qtcreator via a plugin. The new mode basically shows our bugtracker in a QWebView.
Now I want to be able to
- write comments like //TT7020 into the sourcecode.
- these comments should be marked like a hyperlink.
- a mouseclick on a comment should switch to the bugtracker mode and load the bugtracker URL for the ticketnumber 7020.

I already succeeded in creating the bugtracker mode plugin.
The navigation functionality had to be added to the cppeditor plugin that comes with qtcreator.
But I'd rather like to have all the functionality in my plugin and not to modify any existing plugins.

So I think I would have to somehow do in my plugin the following:
- create a new syntaxhighlighter for our Bugtracker comments (or somehow extend the cppeditor syntaxhighlighter from within my plugin)
- extend the navigation functions of the cppeditor plugin somehow from within my plugin. I am thinking of the functions CPPEditor::findLinkAt(...) and CPPEditor::openLink(...)
- If I use the above functions I need to have a CPPEditor::Link that is able to store a URL and not only a filename.

Do you think this is possible? Or would it be better to add the desired functionality directly to the CPPEditor?

Regards,
Markus
