Description

When I click on a different Github link from an issue comment, isn't it supposed to redirect me to the actual issue inside that repository instead of opening my default browser and redirecting to the url from there?

I think a solution to this would be if you detected whether or not a comment includes a Github link, then add an onClick property to the link and prevent the default action, so that instead of actually opening the browser, it instead executes an action which redirects the user to the repository inside the app.

Research direction

Start by locating how links in issue comments are rendered in the React Native app and trace the behavior for GitHub links to other repositories. Done means a GitHub issue link from a comment opens the corresponding issue inside the app instead of the default browser; no file or test is named in the report.
