In #26365 issue references were disabled entirely for documents, intending to match GitHub behavior. However cross-references do appear to work in documents on GitHub.
This is useful for example to write release notes in a markdown document and reference issues. While the simpler syntax may create links when not intended, hopefully the cross-reference syntax is unique enough to avoid it.
