Referencing other entries in comment

Features
1

I would like to reference another entry in the comment field and have it render as a link to open the other entry.

For example, given there is an entry Foobaz2021, I would like to reference it with @Foobaz2021 (or similar) in the comment.
In the preview pane, that would render as a link to the entry. When clicking it, the selected entry opens in the editor view.

Please vote if you support this proposal:

  • I would like to have this feature, too!
  • I don’t care.

I would love to see this, but I would hope this would be independent of the field, not just “comment”, but other fields, too (which the user might define themselves)

I think, the OP referred to use the Pandoc syntax.

@smith04 says blah.

Blah blah [@doe99; @smith2000; @smith2004].

I filed the feature wish internally to https://github.com/JabRef/jabref-issue-melting-pot/issues/410.
