It would be tricky.  The script would need to find all
issues with a GC reference by a search, look in each
one to find the GC reference, check if this ended in a
#c; if it did, it would need to open the referenced
issue, count down to the appropriate comment, copy out
the link field, go back to the original issue, edit it
to paste in the link field and save.

There are only 60 GC refs in the DB, and only some fraction
of them would have a comment-specific ref.  I haven't
found a search that would extract just these (yet).  But
even so, I'd find doing it manually would be quicker.
Script experts might differ!
