Open your repository window
Click 'Settings' in the toolbar
Click 'Advanced'
In the 'Commit Text Replacements' section, click 'Add'
Select 'Other' for Replacement Type
In the Regex Pattern field, enter "#(\d+)($|[^a-zA-Z0-9-])"
In the Replace With field:
On Mac, enter
1"<a href="https://bitbucket.org/your_username/your_project/issue/$1/">#$1</a>$2"On Windows, enter

Click OK twice
Re-select the log item which has a mention of the #12345 style issue number, it should now be linked to the issue.
