Description

Refs: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/114967

Would be cool if in the PR create flow in the Descripiton I could use suggestions to get offered issue numbers, user names etc.. Like we have in other parts of the GH UI in VS Code.
My use case is that in the PR descripiton I would usually say "fixes #ISSUE_NUMBER"

Contributor guide

No contributing guide indexed for this repository

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start at the pull request creation flow, specifically the description field, and compare it with the suggestion behavior already available elsewhere in the GitHub UI in VS Code. The work is done when issue numbers, user names, and similar references can be suggested while writing a PR description, including the stated “fixes #ISSUE_NUMBER” use case.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
