It would be great to have the option to link a case with a ticket being tracked in another system, like launchpad does [1].
Just a link to an issue on mantis, for example, would work to begin with. Then, being able to import the status of the case in the other system would be really cool.

I guess we need a Link field to the external issue and grab some fields from it to display.

A test would comprise:
- CCK Link field linking to the remote issue
- CCK Text field holding the parsed values
- http://drupal.org/project/feeds_xpathparser to parse the document

Any thoughts?
