The plugin does not work for classes when you use the ":" as part of the term ID (I assume due to the URL handling), e.g. for a class defined as

... it works for IDs with underscores like Maybe using the : as separator between short namespace prefix and semantic free ID is a more common practice in the OBO and DL ontology world ...

Thanks for reporting the issue @DSchober However, I was wondering if having a class name with ":" is a good practice [1]. I would expect something with "_" or "/". More generally, there are some reserved characters in URIs (see section 2.2 of the spec here http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt )

Would it be difficult for you to create classes without those reserved characters? or you are trying to reuse such classes?
