Configurable version control service integration

Feature: Link to source file

The “Occurrence(s)” column in the Web UI lists file names and the line numbers of where the text was extracted from. It should be easy to configure an external service URL and generate a link to display the text location in the file under version control.

If the reference content (see definition) is directly a valid URL (e.g. when I edit the PO file and add a #. https://foo.bar.com line to an item) that URL should be turned into a clickable link either.

To answer the original request, the way I’d implement this is by defining a new setting, e.g. ROSETTA_LINK_OCCURRENCES which should be a callable taking the occurrence string (e.g. "templates/test.html:3") and return an URL or None. We could then call that callable for every entry in the form page and if the result is a link, we’d add a hyperlink on the occurrence.

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me. Is your suggestion just about the setting and the implementation of turning the text into a link, or do you think about a default implementation of the callable, too?

If we had, say, a ROSETTA_VCS_URL and a ROSETTA_VCS_REVISION we could have a default implementation that might work for simple, single-repository projects. This could be a helpful starting point, aka reference implementation, for custom setups.
