What's the best way to link formal specs to JIRA enchancement requests?

What's the best way to link formal specs to JIRA enhancement requests?
I want to track changes to specifications using JIRA.
Ideally, I'd like to refer to a functional ID reference in a JIRA ticket (e.g. MYAPPAPPROVAL LOGICMAIN SCREEN), so that program managers can retrospectively categorise defects.
The reason for this, is so that QA scripts and documentation tickets can be searched/categorised meaningfully in the tracking system.
There seems to be a million possible ways to do this, e.g.
should I write a custom component to select functional IDs from a tree?
should I write the specs in confluence, or another CMS with a TrackBack facility?
should I include a link to the documentation URL?
should I use some other 3rd party plugin application?
should I use some Atlassian application that i'm unaware of?
am I using the wrong tracking tool/process to measure spec growth?
What's the best way, in your experience?
