My use-case is that I am trying to setup gitblit to link to a gerrit
change id by parsing it out of the commit message.

Here's the gitblit referece:
http://gitblit.com/properties.html

The reference uses a url like: http://somehost/changeid/$2 but
visiting /changeid on my gerrit server just gives me a 404.

As far as I can tell this is impossible, it looks like you need to
make a query on the ChangeListService to get back the change number in
this Gerrit instance.

So is it possible to link to a gerrit change-id?

"/#/q/$2,n,z" or "/r/$2" might work.

Yes, it is possible. You can make a query using the Change-Id. If there is only one change with this Change-Id it will open automatically. The query parameters can be configured in the URL so that you can link to it, e.g.:
https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/q/I506324d1c34274ba0c7bfb11d4bf5e26afbf6cf5,n,z

BTW, that's what's in the examples at http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.3/config-gerrit.html#_a_id_commentlink_a_section_commentlink

(er, well, except using a comma instead of the slash after the 'q': #q,$2,n,z)

Thanks!

Both of these work:
/r/$2
/#/q/$2,n,z

I've decided to go with "/r/$2" since it's simplest and is easier to
migrate off of because it doesn't rely on having client-side
javascript.

Thanks for pointing that out. I did look fairly extensively at the
documentation but I didn't think to look at the section about
configuring gerrit itself. Maybe some sort of specific gerrit url
documentation would be possible to add?
