references from comments

[tablatronix]

Do you plan on adding the query of all references not just those in body, all references in comments

[tablatronix]

I do not even see any github api spec for getting issue mentions at all. hmm
I guess parsing them from all comments would be a bit much.

Hmm, that's a good suggestion and I think it's doable. I might look into adding comments when I have time. Thanks.

+1 on the feature

AFAIK one can check for references via the issue timeline (https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/timeline/)

[hjylewis]

ah yes, the cross-referenced event. Using this api would be a lot better than what's currently being done (parsing the issue bodies).

Honestly, this whole project needs an update. I created this years ago when I was first learning javascript. I might have time to come back to it and add this in early next year.

[tablatronix]

Seems the api has also improved

[malex984]

Yeah, it is a preview: https://developer.github.com/changes/2016-05-23-timeline-preview-api/

ps: just in case: GitHub API Comparison: Issue Events vs Issue Timeline

@hjylewis @benblair would there be any chance that you would still add this?
I'm really looking forward to using this tool to visualize my issue dependencies, but all references are in the comments...

@stivni I am not actively working on this project right now but would be open to pull requests that add this functionality.
