I think it’s undocumented
Honestly it’s not a workflow I’d like to highlight on the web. It may sound good on private projects but sometimes an issue ends up with many PRs. The current “PR fixes Issue” standard is preferable on most projects.
If you need this feature, I’d suggest creating a separate extension so only those who need it have it.
From what I understand, you call the “update issue” API¹ and provide all the parameters you’d send to the “create PR” API ²
