Description

What problem does this address?

When a GitHub Actions workflow comments on a pull request, it can sometimes be helpful to see the logs.

This came up yesterday when I wanted to look at the output for the workflow run that left this comment saying that performing a git cherry-pick failed the PR.

What is your proposed solution?

When a comment is left on a PR by a GitHub Action workflow, a link should always be included to the run responsible for the comment. I discovered this with the cherry-pick workflow, but there are likely other comments that are left where this would also be useful.

Research direction
Identify the workflow files that comment on PRs and add the workflow run URL to the comment body. The cherry pick workflow is one example; check for others.
