Cross-reference to issues within different projects

Our setup consists of:

• 1 repo: management-repo containing all issues
• various repo's with the actual code (e.g. code-1, code-2, code-99)

If changes are made people refer to the issue in the management repo like this: fix: something (management-repo#1234) or fix: management-repo#1234 something fixed.
However, the release generator links all of these issues against the code repository instead of the management repo.

Within GitLab, if the MR has a reference to an external repo it gets linked properly (e.g. in the MR title).
I tried to set the issuePrefixes to ["management-repo#"] but this still links the found issue to the code-repo rather than the issue-repo.

Is there a way to tell the release-notes-generator to use a different base URL for the issues? It appears that the only way of doing that would be overwriting the commit.hbs and hardcoding the part of the owner + repository or is there an easier way of achieving this?

edit:

It seems that issueUrlFormat: "{{host}}/{{owner}}/management-repo/-/issues/{{id}}", does the trick, however this only makes the second portion clickable instead of the entire line. I was hoping setting issuePrefixes: ["management-repo#"] in parserOpts but this somehow adds in , closes management-repo#1234 rather than making the occurrences clickable.

Start with packages/conventional-changelog-writer/templates/commit.hbs and the parserOpts settings for issuePrefixes and issueUrlFormat. Reproduce the GitLab reference example, then trace how the generator parses management-repo#1234 and renders links; done means the full reference is clickable and points to management-repo without hardcoding a template.
