How to Add External Links to Issues in Linear

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to attach external links to any issue in Linear.

Quick summary

Linear lets you add external links directly to any issue by using the built-in Links section, keeping all relevant URLs organized in one place. Once saved, Linear automatically converts the URL into a clickable link and confirms the action with a success notification.


Steps

  1. Open an issue in Linear.
  2. Scroll down to the Links section within the issue.
  3. Paste the URL into the URL field.
  4. Enter a title for the link to label it clearly.
  5. Click Add link to save the external link to the issue.
  6. Linear automatically converts the entry into a clickable link and displays a success notification confirming the link was added.

📌 Why this matters

Attaching external links directly to Linear issues keeps all relevant resources — such as design files, documentation, or pull requests — connected to the work item without leaving your project management workflow. This eliminates context-switching and ensures every team member has instant access to the right reference material from within the issue itself. For engineering and product teams managing complex projects, the Links feature in Linear improves traceability, speeds up reviews, and reduces the risk of lost or scattered resources.
