This relates to bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1924
which proposes to use the bug title to accomplish the same goal

lp/app/javascript/lp-links.js validates and enhances bug links. It could
be extend to gather extra information that could be used to show extra
information on hover. Touch devices do not support hover and we have to
ask every time hover is suggest if there is a better way. We might
consider an additional event like mousedown+500ms to indicate that the
user is interested in the link.
