Automatic hyperlinking for content services

An auto-hyperlinking system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one computer-readable medium storing a configuration file that specifies a set of regular expressions (regex's), each regex being associated with an application and a URL template, and each regex being coded to identify a string and parse an associated parameter, and storing instructions that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the auto-hyperlinking system to modify content associated with a remote client service by:
• searching text content associated with the remote client service for at least one text string specified by the set of regex's;
• in response to locating a matching text string as specified by an associated regex, parsing the matching text string to extract a parameter value;
• and
• converting the text string within the text content into a hyperlink based on an associated URL template, wherein the hyperlink includes the parameter value.

A computerized method, comprising:

• providing configuration settings for a remote client service, wherein the configuration settings specify a set of regular expressions (regex's), wherein each regex is associated with an application and a URL template, and wherein each regex is coded to identify a string and parse an associated parameter;
• searching text content associated with the remote client service for at least one text string specified by the set of regex's;
• in response to locating a matching text string as specified by an associated regex, parsing the matching text string to extract a parameter value;
• and
• converting the text string within the text content into a hyperlink based on an associated URL template, wherein the hyperlink includes the parameter value.
