This is an essential feature! Like Issue and PR any reference, closing /merging and all status shall be reflected on discussion without these features, it is difficult to follow up cases! |

Cross-referencing other discussion, issues or PRs would be a very helpful addition to Discussions. I'm currently missing the possibility to easily find issues or PRs referencing a discussion thread. |

Cross-linking is one of the most powerful things on GitHub which helps connect projects and work together, so this really is a big oversight in trying to onboard using discussions and issues together to manage projects. |

I'd really like to see this happen. I'm seeing the potential for a nice flow of Discussions -> Issues -> PRs, but without autolinking the discussions feel disconnected. |

Totally agree with this. It's too easy to lose valuable context from other places. Sometimes there are clear duplicates, but the vast majority of the time there are subtle nuances with each related thing. It would be extremely valuable to be reading the discussion and see other places that referenced it (other Discussions, PRs, Issues). This is preventing my team from converting some issues to discussions because the linked context is so valuable. |

Yeah, I just linked to an issue from a discussion and was very surprised to not see that mention in the issue itself like I would when referencing it from any other issue, pr, or commit... ☹ |

We are in the process of moving our OSS repo over to discussions, and this topic just came up in our standup as pretty much a blocker. The loss of context is pretty impactful not only to maintainers but also to community members. |

This feature is critical to make discussion more useful. For example, this discussion risinglightdb/risinglight#503 talks about a bigger problem which links many issues. Without autolinking, the issues cannot know there's a big discussion there. |

I'm here to support this - my team would greatly benefit from being able to backlink discussion<->discussion, discussion<->issue etc. Without this backlinking it's a big step back from just using issues for discussions. Polls and Q&A are nice but this feature feels incomplete without backlinking. |

Today I raised this thread to the GitHub product team in the Star meeting. I hope we can hear from the team soon, and looking forward to seeing this new feature being considered seriously in the GitHub product roadmap to make a better community Discussion product on GitHub! |

I'm discovering this thread, and it's already a year after the issue was brought during the meeting. Is there an update @entcheva? |

Let's me also link newer discussions about this feature, since they don't autolink within discussions either. https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/3211 |

In some cases, backlinks are required, such as commits following a vote to change a logo or package name. |

I'd like to be able to just referring a discussion in an issue and then the issue will be displayed under the discussion, just like the behavior of issues.
