Your system administrator can link your Atlassian applications together via Application Links. Once your applications are linked in this way, automatic cross-linking is supported between the relevant applications. This means that you can quickly and easily add text which will be automatically hyperlinked when you save the Confluence page or JIRA issue, etc. The link will 'know' which application it should point to. You do not need to enter the application's full address.
Automatic cross-linking is supported between the following applications:

For AppLinks to work, your Crucible project keys must start with CR-
. For example, you might name your Crucible project CR
or CR-MYPROJECT
or CR-TEST
(as in the example above).
This is a limitation in AppLinks. It comes about because Crucible review keys have the same structure as JIRA keys, so there is no way for AppLinks to differentiate them. In JIRA Studio (which is where AppLinks comes from), we worked around this by enforcing that all Crucible projects start with 'CR-'. Please watch and/or vote for APL-21 if you are interested in allowing links to projects that don't start with 'CR-'.
Let's say you have written a functional specification or a use case in Confluence, and you want to link to the JIRA issue which contains the original feature request.

Let's say you have a JIRA issue which requests the development of a new feature. You may want to add links in the JIRA issue, pointing to the source file(s) which implement the feature.
