What I need:

1. Issues that can be linked to other issues (regardless of repo), i.e. local issue blocked by remote issue

2. Projects that can contain issues from multiple repos, even a mix of public and private repos

Please say this is now possible, otherwise we too are looking at Linear, Jira, etc when we'd like to be looking at Github.

For #1 hasn't this been possible for a long time via including the issue linking text: OrgName/project#12345 in either an issue body or comment text - or else including it in a commit message?

Due to #1 our org created a no-code repository for hosting all of our issues and it's worked out pretty well - PRs reference the ticket using the issue linking text above and it all works pretty seamlessly - the only slight hiccup is that we only write issues in the no-code repository since splitting issues across repo would cause milestoning issues for releases.

It is indeed now possible. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Can projects now contain issues from multiple _orgs_? I've had worked on things that spanned orgs before, and as far as I know projects couldn't handle that.

I'm really glad subtasks is now a thing!
