I see the statement that text fields should never be linkified. Odd
statement. What does one type into a search box other than text? I can
agree that having it on globally and by default might be a bit much. But
saying that text fields should never lead to a search seems rather
draconian.

The linked_fields would be a useful thing to me.

Some fields, like project numbers, contain non-numeric characters. So I
made them text. Project numbers drop from the sky like rain. They need
to be something one can enter in the ticket as needed. Is there a better
option than text for this?
