Claim 12:
13. A system comprising:
a processor, a computer-readable memory, one or more computer-readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions executable to:
receive user interface input that corresponds to a document in a document editing application;
based on receiving the user interface input, and without detecting a predefined symbol in the user interface input, automatically parse the received user interface input to identify a name included in the user interface input;
determine a first confidence score, associated with the name, based on a strength of a match between the name and a corresponding contact in a contact store;
determine a second confidence score, associated with the name, based on a likelihood of the name that is identified in the received user interface input being a person's name, the second confidence score being determined using context comprising a sentence or a set of words that surrounds the name;
in response to identifying the name included in the user interface input and based on the first confidence score satisfying a first threshold and the second confidence score satisfying a second threshold, provide an option to create a link in the document between the name and the corresponding contact in the contact store;
receive first additional user interface input that indicates acceptance of the option to create the link in the document;
in response to receiving the first additional user interface input, automatically create the link in the document between the name and the corresponding contact in the contact store;
receive second additional user interface input that is associated with the link; and
in response to receiving the second additional user interface input, display, within the document editing application, information associated with the corresponding contact in the contact store.
