Got a request from a client requesting adding new linktype options

[P]

Here was a question posed to me  by a customer:

If we could add a linked issue that with a new LinkType option:

If you could add a linktype derived by -->
Name is 'Derived'
Outward Description 'derived from'
Inward Description 'derives'

issue in linkedIssues("PTR-1627") AND issueType = story shows all linked issues that are requirements today.

if we can get the linkType working in queries, we could do queries like:
issueFunction in hasLinkType(Derived)
to get all issues with linked requirements.

From what I gather they are asking if we can add a new linktype = derived/derived from. Is this something that can be done.
