Is there a way to configure Visual Studio such that bugs mentioned in source code comments open up my bug tracker when clicked?

TortoiseSVN provides this feature, and allows you to specify a bug tracker URL with a bug-ID placeholder to open up. Also, the pattern of mentioned bugs can be configured via regex.

My google Kung Fu does not suffice for this quest. The closest I could get was the linkify Add-In. However, it requires a certain prefix syntax to identify bug numbers, which appears overly complicated when compared to the TortoiseSVN approach.

Visual Assist (commercial) has the Source Links feature, which allows for regex patterns to be recognized in code comments and to open up an application or browser. Until mid 2017, Source Links was available as a standalone extension for free and is still available in the Visual Studio Gallery.
