Description

Feature request

Whenever I paste a link to Linear Issue / Team / etc., in the middle of a sentence, I'd like that link to turn into an in-line embed. The embed should show similar details to the block embed.

Proposal:

  • Issue: <ticket-id> | <ticket-title> | <ticket-status>, e.g.: MKI-7 | Set up daily DB Snapshots | Backlog
  • Team: <team-id> | <team-name>, e.g.: ANO | Another Team
  • Document: <document-title>, e.g.: High-level architecture
  • Project: <team-id> | <project-name>, e.g.: ANO | DEMO

Also, put Linear icon as the first element for better identification.

Current state
  1. Embeds only work as blocks.
  2. Inline links do not turn into embeds
  3. Only Issues get dedicated embeds, other Linear Objects just get a generic wrapper.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing Linear block embed implementation and the handling for inline links. Extend the behavior across Issues, Teams, Documents, and Projects so their inline embeds show the specified details with the Linear icon first, then verify that existing block embeds still work.
