Currently, each flavor of TracLinks implements it's own "sub" syntax.

There is some consistency however, for example,
a trailing "#fragment" is used to locate a specific anchor in the targeted
objects.
This works for section anchors in Wiki pages and more recently
for line numbers in repository files.

Also, there's some support for the special "?format=raw" argument
which works for attachment: links, and it was suggested that source:
links adopt the same convention.

What becomes apparent from the above is that those conventions
are pretty much the same as those used for
[http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/rfc3986 URIs].

Therefore, I propose to add the query URI syntax
to the TracLinks syntax, for the short and long form of links
(but not for the shorthand forms).

Examples:
* source:trunk/README?format=txt Access the README file in "text" mode
* wiki:WikiStart?format=txt Access the WikiStart page in "text"
mode
* log:trunk?limit=10 See the last ten changesets on trunk
* query:?milestone=1.0&owner=cboos See my 1.0 tickets (works already)
* search:?q=google&wiki=on Search for "google" in Wiki pages
(works already)
* report:14?PRIORITY=highest ... works in Trac > r2322

How funny, I just wanted to write a comment here saying just that...
again!

I find the current comment link syntax (e.g. comment:ticket:3555:5) a bit
irritating... It was initially modelled after the attachment syntax (e.g.
`attachment:<resource>:<file>`), but in the case of comments, it's really
annoying to have to split the `comment:` prefix and the comment number.

Maybe we could change both syntaxes to `thing:which_thing:type:id`?
Ideally, this could even be "recursive", e.g.
`comment:4:attachment:the_file.txt:ticket:345`.

Just brainstorming...
