For us that wouldn't be enough... We have a mix of references like: "rev. 1234" and "revision 1234" (including alternate casing), but I don't think any "r1234"...

Hmm... I guess you are right. We are not making heavy use of externals, so confusing with other projects would probably not be a problem at this point in time, but who knows about the future. A possible future improvement (to the future improvement :-) ) could be yet another property that could toggle the link creation for revisions not in the current log dialog.
The reason that I'm keen on having working links to revisions not shown in the current log dialog view is that we are using branches, and sometimes links to revisions present on other branches (but in the same repository) makes very much sense.
