yoda-webhook: Piggy-back GitHub reference rendering (used in > contains lists) also in > partof

[jens-markussen]

Today, issue references used in yoda-webhook are displayed differently depending if they are child- or parent references. This is because the child references area at the start of the line and thus GitHub automatically renders in different font and with an icon to show state (open/closed).

An Example:

This mechanism is described in the GitHub documentation here and here.

The HTML for doing this is:

Example

<span class="reference"><svg class="octicon octicon-issue-opened open mr-1" title="Open" viewBox="0 0 16 16" version="1.1" width="16" height="16" aria-hidden="true"><path d="M8 9.5a1.5 1.5 0 1 0 0-3 1.5 1.5 0 0 0 0 3Z"></path><path d="M8 0a8 8 0 1 1 0 16A8 8 0 0 1 8 0ZM1.5 8a6.5 6.5 0 1 0 13 0 6.5 6.5 0 0 0-13 0Z"></path></svg><a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="1773166129" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/jens-markussen/plan/issues/10" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/jens-markussen/plan/issues/10/hovercard" href="https://github.com/jens-markussen/plan/issues/10">Study Quantum toolkit Qskit<span class="issue-shorthand">&nbsp;#10</span></a></span>

In contract, the corresponding > partof parent link is shown as:

Not nearly as nice and - more importantly - inconsistant.

Would it be possible to "steal the CSS" ?

Actually, it seems that advances in GitHub issue linking (see https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/about-tasklists).

Comparing yoda-webhook to this function:

This seems to:

• Update state of child issues. Note, the checkbox is "flaky" - not always doing it - at least if tracked by several issues.
• Reflect that a child issue is tracked by somewhere else (even by multiple other issues)
• Allow to have several parents (to be tracked by more than one issue), see picture below
  

It does NOT:

• Show easily the title of tracking issues (if you are a task of such an issue). Only see "tracked by"; then you need to hover.
• Including set of labels to further detail the issue.
• Have a feature akin to > issuesearch
• Have a feature akin to > headline
