Common workflows

Issue and work item URL inputs

Issue argument parsing accepts GitLab work item URLs in addition to issue URLs where the glab issue subcommand resolves an issue argument. This is URL compatibility for issue-style operations such as view, note, update, close, and related commands; use glab work-items when you need dedicated work item fields or work-item-specific lifecycle behavior.
