Watched Words/Replace might help you out. It’s how things like [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true) automatically get linked. When I tried to replace with a markdown link, though, the raw markdown gets inserted into the post, so it’s not quite what yuo want, I’m afraid.

Oh, but if all you want is for Github Issue to get linked, that works already.
