[[plugins/shortcut]] creates link shortcut [[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"]]`.
