Linkify #hashtagged words as room links #1639

I don't know if it's a standard or just a standard convention but my recollection of IRC is that most or all clients will turn words that start with a # into links to the corresponding room on that server.

The other day I was in an IRC bridged room and someone shared such a #room name. Normal IRC users could click on it, but for me it was just plain text.

Let's linkify such words into room links on that server.

Seems reasonable to me. This would probably require us to do a passover the message text and create an appropriate local room alias for it. Should be quite easy.
