Hi @shacharz, thanks for the suggestion! Could you provide a description (or, preferably, a link to documentation) of how this should work?

https://webpack.github.io/docs/configuration.html#resolve-root
I was thinking of being able to add those roots in the octolinker options, and maybe check those that you want out of all those you've used. If for example you're looking at a different repository that the currently used roots somehow mess with it.

Thanks for the link. Another way this could work is that the extension reads the webpack.config.js file (similar to how #186 would work). That way, you wouldn't have to manually configure it.

even better :)

FWIW, as an extensive user of webpack's resolve.alias in things derived from compass-plugin, I think resolve.root from @shacharz comments and / or resolve.alias would be really awesome to have.
