proposal: Allow linking work items (tickets, PRs)

On Jira it is possible to link work items together in a ticket, so one can find all related tickets and PRs quickly.

I would propose adding that on Tangled as well. While I'm relatively new here, I have already encountered the issue multiple times, having to search for related tasks by hand and/or look out for links to the specific work item.

My proposal is to add a field with a dropdown menu where one can choose the kind of relation:

• is blocked by
• blocks
• relates to
• duplicates
• split to/from
• merged into/from

Since IDs for tickets and PRs are not shared, one would also either have to select the type, or the API would pull both the ticket and the PR, and the user would select the work item in an autocomplete manner.
