With a patch, Refers-To can be nicely corralled into a custom field
in 2.0. I'm doing so to link to our local Bugzilla, with URIs like
"bugzilla:300" for bug 300. The magic of %URI2HTTP (or something like
that) in config.pm converts that to a Bugzilla link, and there is
then goodness and light.

The patch is to remove a couple of assumptions about what makes
for legal URIs. Lemme know if you (the original poster, or, I suppose,
anyone else!) want it and I'll post it tomorrow when I'm at the
office.
