Description

I'm not exactly sure how, but Linear's github import tool and synclinear.com both manage to append these nice, official "Github issue" links to the bottom of the Linear issue description:

By comparison, this tool only adds the link inside the rich text description. Whilst this is functionally fine, it's not quite as slick. The affordance of the button and consistent UI will make the UX this tool provides a bit nicer.
