Hi 
(I’m not sure about what exactly a featured-link, and if it’s the right tag for that.)
Seeing JammyDodger’s cross-link, I thought:
Why not make automatic cross-links, like many bug-trackers for example?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around the idea of automatic cross-links on Discourse. Thomas_DC suggests implementing automatic cross-links, similar to those in bug trackers, and references a post by JammyDodger as an example. However, Moin points out that the featured-link feature already achieves this. Thomas_DC apologizes for not being aware of this feature and asks if it’s recent, while also questioning JammyDodger about manually adding a cross-link. JammyDodger explains that they added the link to provide a clear reference and signpost the continuation of the discussion, even though backlinks are available.
You just added a link to your post below the post of @JammyDodger by adding that link to your post.

OK, I see it now.
So this feature was already made, sorry!
Sorry, you were not very clear and I never seen these links before.
Is it a very recent feature or am I cross-eyed?
@JammyDodger why did you add this cross-link, since it’s automatic?
Maybe you didn’t see them, too? 
I added it to round the topic out and to more easily signpost people to the continuation of the discussion. Backlinks are very useful, though sometimes can be subtle. For a more direct reference, I find an ‘end post’ as a closer to be quite useful.
