I think this is the best idea so far. I would consider that in the future other search operators for power users might be introduced like:

status: open, created after: date, etc…

Not trying to over design right now, but its something to keep in mind.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I could also see a plugin that would automatically create links if you put #1234 into a post body, or something like that, which is pretty common in bug trackers.
