-For convenience, there's also some alternative short-hand form, where one can use an alias as an immediate prefix for the identifier of a ticket, changeset or report, eg `#T234`, `[T1508]`, `[trac 1508]`.

-   Not all links will work that way, but the most common do. 
-   This is called the compatibility mode, and is `false` by default. 
- * If you know that the remote Trac knows how to dispatch InterTrac links, 
-   you can explicitly disable this compatibility mode and then ''any''

 The generic form `intertrac_prefix:module:id` is translated to the corresponding URL `<remote>/module/id`, shorthand links are specific to some modules (e.g. !#T234 is processed by the ticket module) and for the rest (`intertrac_prefix:something`), we rely on the TracSearch#quickjump facility of the remote Trac.
