I believe we should stick to the syntax. Intertrac links are essentially
links to products we track but are externally hosted. They were often used
for mock multi-product environments by linking several single-product trac
instances to my knowledge.

As such, a user could be expected to add what to them looks like a product
in Bloodhound for each Intertrac product they'd like to track. The
Intertrac prefix is the product prefix, the full name is the product name.
All that's missing is the url.

Maybe this can be done via an option like the below in the product setup:
[ x ] externally hosted
URL: [                              ]

The hack here is that when a user sets up a new product, they're either
creating an actual product or an Intertrac link that gets displayed similar
to a product, depending on whether they check the "externally hosted"
option.

Hope that makes sense :-)
