One simple way to find related related posts would be the Trac ticket number. In some docs, this number is available, so we could store its value in a post meta field. Unfortunately, there seems to be no standard. I found four different variants in wp-includes/functions.php:

// see http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9396

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- Ticket #11289, IE bug fix: /* snip */
-->

 * See http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8497

 * @link http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/19589

It would be nice to have a standard. We could extend the PHP doc standard with a new tag and a vendor prefix:

 * @wp-ticket http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/19589

Not sure what the best place is to discuss that topic. Make? Core trac? Chat? This trac?

Bring it up with the inline docs team and see what they think. Best way to do that is attend their weekly meeting or comment on their weekly update on make.

All links to Trac tickets and other external documentation will be handled using the @link tag in the doc blocks. References to other functions/classes/hooks/etc. will be done using the @see tag.

We are trying to stay away from using any custom tags in the doc blocks.

We're aware of the inconsistencies, and are working hard to fix them.

You, and anyone else, are always welcome to attend our weekly inline docs chat, Wednesdays at 18:00 UTC in #wordpress-sfd, or reach out to @DrewAPicture or myself with questions in between meetings. :)
