Hello!

I have written a few Extensions so far, but they all relied on a single trigger symbol / character.
Now I wanted to ask if it was possible to perhaps use something like "Issue xxx" where as "Issue" is the triggerword instead of a "#" and takes teh following alphanumerical string (with or without whitespace) and processes/parses it.
As far as I know, OpeningCharacters is just an array of characters with each character in the array acting as the trigger individually.

Is there a way to achieve something like "#1234 acts the same as Issue 1234"?
