Why do links from Jira to Bitbucket use UUID instead of repository name?

[Nikita Nadezhdin]

Wonder if that is a configurable behaviour or something that could be tweaked.

In our company we use multiple Bitbucket repositories (and Jira :) ).
When I see a URL pointing to Bitbucket PR or commit I'd love to see which repo it refers to (prior to opening!), as it immediately starts my brain thinking in the right direction.

This works on Bitbucket itself:
https://bitbucket.org/<companyAcctName>/<repo-name>/pull-requests/12345

The links generated from Jira tickets, however, are looking like this:
https://bitbucket.org/<companyAcctName>/{long-UUID-string-injected-here-instead-of-repo-name}/pull-requests/12345

When I have 3 related PRs open in tabs in the browser for review, switching between those is always a "guessing game"...
This also means that when someone copy-pastes the link to me in chat -- I don't see what he's talking about unless I open the link, make sure it loads, etc.

Is there a way to "teach" Jira to format the links similar to BB itself? Or a way to make BB to redirect to "meaningful" links instead of keeping those?

Thanks for the comment. There's a bit of an explanation here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/UUID-in-link-to-pull-request-instead-of-repository-name/qaq-p/1111287 but suffice to say you're not the only person who wishes it had something more human readable.
