Right : Hashtags # work very well on identica and twitter with search tab. But on identica, there is also an option for groups :
http://identi.ca/group

Name of group has a ! before. Example : if you subscribe to Ubuntu
group, when someone post a message with !Ubuntu, you will receive it
even if you are not following his timeline.

This part works well in Gwibber, I receive all the messages from the
groups I have joined.

But contrary to the #hashtags, !groups are not clickable links and do
not allow to do a search in identica groups.

According identi.ca support, there is no group search api end point
right now

http://status.net/open-source/issues/2876

So, question is : if a word has a "!" just before it without space between them (like !gwibber), is it possible to make it as link and redirect to :
http://identi.ca/group/gwibber

If group does not exist, this will display an error message "Not found"

If yes, it would allow to subscribe easily to a group on identica web
page.

Title:
  Gwibber doesn't turn !tags into Identi.ca community links

Status in Gwibber:
  Confirmed
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gwibber

  PROBLEM

  An inconsistency in Gwibber's formatting wherein #hashtags and
  @replies are turned into links, in its display of Identi.ca streams,
  but !community mentions are not.

  HOW TO REPRODUCE

  1. Use Gwibber to post a status update on Identi.ca which includes the !tag of a community you belong to. !aliases work for purposes of bugtesting also (Identi.ca allows community administrators to assign multiple aliases to !community names).
  2. Note that while @replies and #hashtags are automatically turned into links in your Identi.ca stream, the !community name is not.

  EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

  Everything that would be a link on the Identi.ca web app itself will
  be a link in Gwibber.
