Add Issue linking by branch name (Optional)

[shiipou]

Describe the feature that you'd like
On all my repo in my organization, issue linking is made by branch name. This is the case for a lot of people, so I post my idea here :
It can be really useful to automatically link any commit of a branch to an issue by regex.
(It can be done by automatically suffix the commit message by #18)

I hope this idea can help many people to became a lot more productive.

Additional context (optional)

Hi @shiipou,

This would be a great way to extend the existing Issue Linking functionality! I’ll include it in the next release.

Yes really useful I think, thanks you.
For the moment, I just use a custom script in the commit-msg in each of my .git local repo.

After experimenting with a variety of implementation options that all achieved the core capability of this feature request, I settled on a new "View Issue" action on the Branch & Remote Branch right-click context menu's. There were benefit's and disadvantages to each option, but ultimately I felt the newly implemented solution made the best net trade-offs from both user experience & implementation perspectives.

This will be available in v1.31.0.

If you'd like to use it before the next release, you can download v1.31.0-beta.1, and install it following the instructions provided here.
