Don't we want or can implement quick links to any set database, e.g. BrickSet.com, to make linking set ids more handy?
P.S.
I've just published a small Firefox search plugin for the same purpose.

I've added this into my POC for parts: meta.bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/62/code-to-insert-parts– Zhaph - Ben Duguid ModCommented Dec 16, 2011 at 23:00

I'm sure it's possible to implement (perhaps using the word filter), I'd certainly find it very helpful.
Something like this?
[bs:5590]
Links to set 5590 on Brickset and...
[bl:5590]
...links to the same set but on Bricklink. Linking to pieces would be helpful too.

I could help to implement that as being a programmer, with pleasure. I thing RegEx filter "only digits, 4 or 5 symbols long" will be enough, will it not? Commented Dec 15, 2011 at 12:15

The key thing is the brackets and identifier. See the work Kevin did on the part image links we've also proposed.– Zhaph - Ben Duguid ModCommented Dec 15, 2011 at 17:25

@Ambo100 the code I'm looking to get added for part images already does linking to parts, I'll try and add this in - my concern here is that BrickSet for example adds additional identifiers on to the set number.

To clarify, would we be happy linking to the primary set with this? For example, the City Airport theme had a few "promotional" re-releases of some sets, that are listed as -2 of the same set number? bricklink.com/…– Zhaph - Ben Duguid ModCommented Dec 16, 2011 at 9:08

I've added this feature to the BrickJax code that can be seen here:
This is also available as a greasemonkey/user script linked from the same page.
