Could the Issue Links be extended to include more than one variable. This would allow more complex links to be added/utilized.
Example: Team Foundation requires a minimum of 3 variables to ensure that an item is linked correctly you need to have the project collection, project and the work item number.
That's an interesting example. We'd need some way to help prompt for those items on the merge as well, but I see the value.

In it's current state we are going to have to add a link template for each project over 100, in TFS. We have more than a dropdown will handle and make the UX usable.

Example VSTS https://fabrikam/DefaultCollection/Phone%20Saver/_workitems/edit/133
Project Collection = "DefaultCollection"
Project = Phone%20Saver
Work Item = 133
string format for url:
https://fabrikam/{0}/{1}/_workitems/edit/{3}
