Quick Linker

Search and link any equippable item in the game by typing [ in chat.

Type [, then the letters of the item you want — suggestions appear as ghost text ahead of your cursor. Refine by typing more. Press TAB to complete it into a real, clickable item link.

Re-worked for WoW Classic 2.5.x (TBC / Anniversary). No live caching, the entire item database (~17,400 equippable items) ships pre-baked into the addon.

Note

If you use the "Prat" addon, it aggressively takes control of your auto-complete for player names, and may conflict. You can turn it off here:

/prat config -> Chat Formatting -> PlayerNames -> Enable TabComplete(Set to OFF)

Features

• Instant suggestions — type [ then a few letters, and a dim ghost-text suggestion appears ahead of your cursor showing the rest of a matching item's name. Refine by typing more.
• TAB to complete — turns the suggestion into a real, clickable, correctly-colored item link. Works entirely offline: names, quality, and links are baked into the addon at build time, so there's no server round-trip needed to complete a suggestion.
• Works in most chat windows — discovers edit boxes (including whispers, popouts, and most chat-replacement addons) via ChatEdit_ActivateChat rather than assuming only the default Blizzard chat frames exist.
• Non-destructive suggestions — the ghost text is a separate overlay, not text injected into what you're typing.
• Full Item DB — Now contains all items_, not just weapons (_please let me know if anything is missing).

Slash commands

Requirements

• WoW Classic 2.5.x (TBC / Anniversary), interface 20506.
