I've been thinking about bug links recently, and I was inspired by
wowhead.com's tooltips for links. http://www.wowhead.com/tooltips


Specifically, one annoying thing about linking a bug is that you have
to follow the link to get the actual details. It would be really neat
if you could hover over the link, and get the quick summary of the
bug. That lets you write fairly natural prose, and someone who is
interested can dig in for a little bit more detail.

Here is a site that uses the tooltips:
http://wow.joystiq.com/2012/05/29/spiritual-guidance-lightwell-vs-lightspring-plus-new-priest-g/

I can certainly see turning all of the "bug #XXXXX" and possibly even
the "~jameinel" said... into links that give you a quick preview.

I don't know if this is particular hard to do, do other people think
it would be interesting? (arguably it is 'mup for the web' :)
