Inspiration
By working on Jira, we frequently paste links which are related to the issue, but after all we need to link them manually. This is a common problem which pushed as to solution that automate this process for us. With a bit of effort, we made some great improvement.
What it does
The base functionality is to automate linking process, thanks to this yours only responsibility is to write comments. App is reading yours comment and select all links from it. In addition to this, when passing Jira issue link to the comment, app is looking for the context in front of link position and select right relation. Next very important feature is the ability to link confluence wiki pages.

What's next for Links From Comments
We need to add some more interaction for user. In this case, we want to give user ability to select which links he wants to link. Unfortunately at this moment we are blocked by technology, but also we already have some workaround which will be possibly added in the future. The problem is with ability to call some kind of popup or modal in which we will pass found links.
