Dynamic timestamp support in GitHub Flavored Markdown

[pl4nty]

When writing comments/issues/PRs etc, it would be useful to create timezone-aware timestamps, particularly for distributed teams.

GitHub already uses @github/time-elements web component extensions in many products. However, they aren't supported in GitHub Flavored Markdown, which prevents timezone-aware or relative timestamps. If support was added, it could improve developer experience and workflows across several areas including issues, PR reviews, Actions CI/CD, etc.

Would love to see this feature.

Something similar to this is Discord's support for this (See https://discordtimestamp.com/).
I'd use this for relative times attached to my Job Step Summaries & automatic Pull Request comments, so it's easier to tell when the deployment was made.
