Userscript to auto-replace SOFU links in comments? [closed]

Question

SOFU links pasted into questions get automatically replaced by the question title. This has been this way for some time now, and it's great.

However, it is missing from comments. This is very annoying, but apparently by design, although I don't really understand why.

Anyway, seeing as this is probably unlikely to change - does a Greasemonkey or user script exist that emulates the behaviour? Meaning that if I attempt to post a comment with a raw SOFU link in it, the script automatically looks up the question title, and replaces the link, before it gets submitted.

(If it's possible at all to do this - I have no idea whether an Ajax question title lookup is doable....)

Answer 1

I wrote a script for this purpose. Please see this StackApps posting for more information.

Answer 2

As a workaround, George Edison was kind enough to write Copy Question Link Markdown - Making it easier to copy links to questions! This script adds a copy button to questions, which generates markdown with the link and question title, e.g. [Userscript to auto-replace SOFU links in comments?](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/89378/userscript-to-auto-replace-sofu-links-in-comments).

Note that both the link text and the description text will count against the comment length limit. You may want to trim the URL down to http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/89378.
