This is probably a complex feature so I'll try to be as clear as possible.
The term Lists will be used for the rest of the text to describe any structured text inside a wiki page that could be thought of as a group of text describing similar things such as bullet lists, numbered lists, tables, headers, table of contents, etc.
Why?:
Let's say you have some bullet list in a wiki page listing departments in an organization. eg
That info won't change anytime soon so no need to put them in a tracker, you keep all related info in the wiki page.
Now suppose you want to create an issue tracker that can handle issues per department.
Currently you have to either define a tracker for departments and use an item link OR use a combo box,write the departments by hand.
The problem with that is when a change of departments comes, you'll have to remember where the department names are used and to update them manually.
How?:
The above "problem" could be resolved using named lists.
The author could write the department list in a named list and then when designing the tracker there would be a new type of tracker field type named list where he would define the page and named list name or listID to be used.
When adding a tracker item, that field would be rendered:
that would fetch the values from that named list.
How to implement?:
There probably are many ways to implement this but my guess is the easiest is reuse/modify existing wikiplugins so as to keep the simple lists plain.
What needed are:
That field type would take as parameters:
