Summary1023: Default object field to allow http link to anything
DescriptionIt'd be nice to have a default field for each object that allows you to input a URI and associated anchor text. This anchor text as a link would then appear on the view tab of the object.

This would be exceptionally useful to allow you to link to wiki pages for example.
Steps To ReproduceN/A feature request

RackTables detects URLs in text attributes of an object and the comment field (when the DETECT_URLS option is set to "yes"). In addition to that, it is possible to put an URL with an anchor into a text attribute using the following syntax:

[ some text | http://some.url/page.html ]

Let me know if that doesn't solve the task.

 DETECT_URLS is set to yes.

Placing http://server/wiki/index.php/objectname in the comments field only creates a link like:

http://server/wiki/index.php/objectname

but only the "index.php/objectname" is turned into a link, with the href attribute set to the same value.

By "text attribute" I assume you mean type = string?

Nothing I place in a string attribute gets turned into a clickable link.

Am I missing something?

Ah after looking at the PHP, the URL detection code requires dots in the host name. Still can't get anything to appear in a string attribute though...

I could be wrong about the string attribute. Let me reproduce and see.

 You are right about the dot, the next release will include the bugfix.

To put a clickable text into a "string" attribute, use the following syntax (in the previous example I wrote it wrong):

[[ abc | http://def/ghi.html ]]

Thank you for troubleshooting this issue.

Unfortunately, I took the bugfix wrong in 0.20.6 (see 1103), 0.20.7 should have it finished.
