Linker works for joined issue reference text about rocketchat-youtrack-linker HOT 2 CLOSED

We had the exact same issue (e.g. in situations like "abc123-456def-789ghi-jkl") but found that the app doesn't care for non-capturing groups or capture groups in general. Therefore we created this alternative regex which uses non-capturing look-behind and look-ahead groups and makes it possible to have certain special characters lead or trail the issue ID:

(?<=^|\s|\,|\;|\:|\.|\!|\?)[a-zA-Z]+-[0-9]+(?=$|\s|\,|\;|\:|\.|\!|\?)

Hi @yahesh! Thanks for your solution, regex lookaround is exactly what fixed the problem!

I've added lookbehind (?<=^|[^a-zA-Z0-9]) and lookaround (?=[^a-zA-Z0-9]|$) to issue pattern.

Also exclude pattern was added for markdown link like [...](https://...).
