# Variable go links

Variable go links in Glinks allow you to create dynamic links by specifying a wildcard (denoted by `{*}`). This lets users replace the wildcard with custom values, making the links more flexible and tailored to specific needs.

**Example: Zendesk Tickets**

Zendesk is a popular custom support software. Each customer support request gets logged as a ticket. You can create a variable go link for accessing Zendesk tickets:

* **Go Link**: `go/t`
* **Destination URL**: `https://dictanotehelp.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/{*}`

Now, when you want to access a specific ticket, simply append the ticket ID to the go link. For example:

* `go/t/1234` opens `https://dictanotehelp.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/1234`

This setup allows quick access to any ticket by just changing the variable part of the URL. Some more examples:

**Example: JIRA Tickets**

Variable go links are also useful for JIRA ticket tracking. For example:

* **Go Link**: `go/jira`
* **Destination URL**: `https://mycompany.atlassian.net/browse/{*}`

To open a JIRA ticket for a specific issue:

* `go/jira/PROJ-567` opens `https://mycompany.atlassian.net/browse/PROJ-567`

This method saves time and ensures consistency when navigating project issues.

**Example: GitHub Issues**

You can also create variable go links for tracking GitHub issues:

* **Go Link**: `go/gh`
* **Destination URL**: `https://github.com/myrepo/myproject/issues/{*}`

When you need to access a specific issue:

* `go/gh/987` opens `https://github.com/myrepo/myproject/issues/987`
