      I'm currently migrating lots of documentation into Confluence and it would be nice with a macro for automatic link creation (e.g. to external API documentation).

      Basically I would like some way for me to decorate class names that would make them links to the MSDN-style documentation generated by NDoc (which uses a well defined naming convention for the html files, and is thus an ideal target for a macro of some sort).

      It would also be nice if I could define link keywords, i.e. words that will always be converted to a link (with no additional formatting in the page source).

            If confluece implemented this feature it would be the single most important feature in confluence.  I work in a engineering/technology firm and one of the biggest issues is that on ever single page we have to over explain every little detail because even though we have built a dictionary of sort, setting up all of the links to it is super tedious.  It would also be nice to add an option that if the linked page has a TLDR or equivelent that could be displayed as a popup.
