[OSM-talk-be] replace ref on stops De Lijn with mijnlijn.be/x0xxxx

[Wim Crols]

on the wiki page it says the following

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenLinkMap#Contribute

*Programming:* You created an interesting new feature or fixed a bug in the
existing code? Please send me your code and I will add it.

on second thoughts it would even be better that openlinkmap would support
this kind of url

url=http://mijnlijn.be/#{ref}

where it will replace a placeholder with the contents of a tag with the
name of the placeholder.
This is more versatile and could be used for other purposes too.
