Make quick action "commands applied" banner more useful

internal customer since many GitLabbers (including many developers at GitLab) use quick actions.


Problem

For some quick actions you rely on the system note to direct you to the next step. For example, moving and promoting issues posts a system note with a link to the new issue or epic. If a user has activity set to Comments only they don't see that system note, leaving the user to manually search.

Design

When a quick action (or quick actions) are successfully applied, the alert should say exactly which actions were applied.

Notes
  • The link font-weight should be 700
  • On hover, the links should have text-decoration: underline
  • The text should match the quick action preview text, but with everything in past tense. For example, the preview of the above screenshot looks like this:
