Comments with references use
RefCommentHTMLURL()
to fetch the URL location to link to.However for references originating in body text or titles, this falls back to a value of
""
.This means that when a reference comes from a body/title, the link just reloads the current page, which is weird.
This PR changes the fallback behaviour to return the URL of the originating issue/PR. This way if the body text of
pulls/X
links to an issue, then the cross ref comment will link to 'pulls/X'.There are no other references to
RefCommentHTMLURL()
in the codebase so I don't think this has any risk.
