[[plugins/shortcut]] creates link shortcut [[ikiwiki/PreprocessorDirective]]s,
which substitute their argument into the specified shortcut URL to generate
the link target, and use the argument as the link text. For example, given
the example [[shortcuts]], \[[!wikipedia ikiwiki]] generates a link to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ikiwiki, with the link text "ikiwiki". This
works well in many cases; however, for things like the debbug example, it
simply uses the number as the link text, which does not always provide
enough context to understand the link at first glance. For example,
\[[!debbug 397501]] generates a link to http://bugs.debian.org/397501,
with just "397501" as the link text. While [[plugins/template]] provides a
general solution for arbitrary cases, it would help to have a simple option
via the shortcut plugin to set the link text, with a %s substitution.
Thus, something like \[[!shortcut name=debbug url="http://bugs.debian.org/%s" desc="bug #%s"]] might suffice on a
Debian-specific wiki to indicate a bug number, while a more general wiki
might use something like \[[!shortcut name=debbug url="http://bugs.debian.org/%s" desc="Debian bug #%s"]].
