Mark done directly from email notifications

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

Description

Most of the time, my flow is like this:

  1. I'm mentioned in an issue
  2. I receive a notification email
  3. I click on the link to reach the issue in GitLab
  4. I answer/comment

But since I'm also indirectly mentioned in many issues, because I want to be always updated on relevant things, many times I don't need to take an action, just read the comment.

But here is the fact: if I don't go to the issue in the UI, it will stay in my TODOs even if I already "managed" it. If I go to the UI, this is the flow:

  1. I'm mentioned in an issue
  2. I receive a notification email
  3. I click on the link to reach the issue in GitLab
  4. I wait for the page to load (unfortunately a few seconds)
  5. I click Mark done
  6. I close the browser tab

Proposal

It would be awesome to mark as done directly from the notification email, in a similar way you can accept/decline a Google Calendar invite directly from the email.

So my flow can be like this:

  1. I'm mentioned in an issue
  2. I receive a notification email
  3. I click to mark it done directly in the email
