Feat - Link the pull req. with Linear automation (could be easy but to investigate)

Context

Idea would be to add the ID from the created issue (on Linear) directly at the end of the description from the pull request.

E.g.: "Closes FOO-2332."

So basically the Linear issue would be linked to the pull req.

Otherwise the add-on is great guys, great job!

This could be do-able, but would require a relatively high-privilege GitHub access token to modify the pull request — currently the extension requests a Linear access token, but isn’t authorized with GitHub.

Unless there’s a way to script it from the page, e.g. a button to “Mark as closing FOO-2332” which when clicked edits and saves the PR description for you. That might work — wouldn’t be automated, but could be one click away.

Edit: yes, just confirmed this could be possible:

const issueBody = document.querySelector('.js-command-palette-issue-body');
const editButton = issueBody.querySelector('.js-comment-edit-button');
editButton.click();
const editForm = issueBody.querySelector('.js-comment-update');
const textarea = editForm.querySelector('textarea');
// modify textarea.value
editForm.submit(); // N.B. reloads the page

Nice! How could I proceed to make it on my own usage?
