## Description

**As** a Project manager  
**I want** to be able to easily copy hyperlink to the work package as concatenated text in format: "{ID}: {Subject}" with href to the package  
**so that** I can easily paste complete hyperlinks into external applications (e.g. Outlook, Word).

**Acceptance criteria**

*   Right clicking the work package in list of packages has new button "Copy hyperlink"
*   Work package detail has the same new button
*   The copied hyperlink "goes to" the clipboard

**Notes**

Example HTML of the suggested hyperlink:

`<a href="https://community.openproject.org/projects/openproject/work_packages/17517/activity">17517: Work packages with reduced visibility (private work packages)</a>`

End result:

[17517: Work packages with reduced visibility (private work packages)](https://community.openproject.org/projects/openproject/work_packages/17517/activity)

**Pain**

When creating custom reports or email requests to the team i have to manually &quot;build&quot; this concatenated hyperlinks. The pain is small, thanks to Excel, but still...

**Nice to have**

The concatenate &quot;formula&quot; is configurable in settings, so that users can define what &quot;fields&quot; and &quot;constants&quot; they want to concatenate. E.g. another user wants the text to be concatenated like this:  &quot;{ID} - {Subject} - {Finish date}&quot;

**Current situation / use case**

I am creating a &quot;reminder&quot; email to the assignee of the task, and I also want to inform other users, who are not necessarily watchers, in &quot;cc&quot; of the email. (The people in the &quot;cc&quot; may not even be from the project team.)  
I could just paste the url into email (workaround 1), but that alone will provide no info at a glance; they have to visit the url. I could also create wiki page with macros, but that is not so &quot;fast&quot; for me and it clutters our precious wiki. :)
