Create issue from click on code line in files view

Everyone can contribute. Help move this issue forward while earning points, leveling up and collecting rewards.

Often we review code and find things we like to improve later. We then have to manually navigate to the issues tracker, remember file name and line number, and open an issue. This is annoying.

It would be much better if one could simply click on a code line of a file and say "new issue", which in turn navigates him to a new issue which is directly linked to that code line (like having file name and line number in the text), or even better, show the file and let me type a lines comment directly into it, so we can discuss planned changes directly within the code. :-)

Design proposal

Additional design details needed:
