Hm, AFAIK, there isn't, but it is certainly possible. To build this
functionality, you would need to add a global plugin parameterized with
a buffer-local variable defining how to build a link, and then set that
variable, probably in the various filetype-plugins for file types where
links are possible. Something similar in concept to the matchit plugin,
which has a b:match_words variable which is set by the filetype-plugins
for some filetypes.
