Description

GitHub implemented this natively as part of https://github.com/features/issues

Some links are still not covered by GitHub so for now the extension is still somewhat useful. I think it should exclude already-rendered links though. The demo page for example isn't covered https://github.com/fregante/github-issue-link-status/issues/57

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify the HTML structure of GitHub's native issue link rendering (e.g., via CSS classes or selectors) and add a check in the extension's link processing code to skip those links.
