IWBNI, we could link to Artist:<mbid> Track:<mbid> or Release:<mbid> from within annotations or edit notes, and get something along the lines of http://test.musicbrainz.org/images/entity/artist_small.gif <Artist Name>, http://test.musicbrainz.org/images/entity/track_small.gif <Track Name>, or http://test.musicbrainz.org/images/entity/release_small.gif <Release Name>.

From http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ticket/1609

Personally I think it would be better to start without the image and just display a text link, then later on see if the image is needed.

This should use the same link formatting style as the wiki, like
[[Artist:aabc3d78-218b-4e98-95b7-fe6388adef2d|ryo]]
and
[[Release:6ed8bc08-f07b-4197-951e-763ca259f13c|Heartsnative]]
to keep consistency, if possible.

If we could avoid the use of superfluous double [[]] and use simple [] instead, so that it's the same as the current edit note syntax [ArtistCredit].

edit 2012-07-25 or even better use markdown (OTHER-77) everywhere.

I think the aim of this is typiing the minimum keys as possible, so I propose that the simple "artist:88d8f38f-adb4-48a0-8c1f-ec34f2a675ff" (without quotes) would be auto-rendered as "陰陽座" (without the quotes, ha ha).

edit 2012-07-25 entity icons + shorten and embelish MB links does, among other things :
Turn http://musicbrainz.org/artist/88d8f38f-adb4-48a0-8c1f-ec34f2a675ff
Into 88d8f38f-adb4-48a0-8c1f-ec34f2a675ff

hmm, this is all to much work for me... I have to copy the URL, manually strip everything than the MBID, and add "artist:". How about if the parser would just display MBID URLs in a nicer way?

http://musicbrainz.org/artist/b10bbbfc-cf9e-42e0-be17-e2c3e1d2600d would just become The Beatles. It would be very easy to extend the parser to allow the old ".html" suffix or an optional "www." subdomain (or https).

This way I can just hit "copy link url" and paste it, and it is displayed nicely. It is backwards compatible for all the URLs in edit notes / annotations!

I really like the hrglgrmpf's idea. In plain-text copying the URL is the easiest for editors.

+1 for this, particularly hrglgrmpf's comment.
