Is there a way to reference an issue including title on GitHub?

I know that I can reference an issue just by giving the issue number like this: #123. This way the title of the issues shows up on hovering the number. But I have a main issue, where I want to aggregate all dependent issues. In order to do this I want to include in the description a list of issues and have the titles inline, like this:

My frontend issues
- #32 Fix unclosed HTLM tags
- #36 Remove unsupported tags
- #41 Split very complex templates into blocks
- #44 Give all images an alt attribute

Is there a way to do this so that the the comment stays up to date if i update the actual issue title?

I've searched here and here, but can't find a way to do this.

There isn't any way to automatically update the title of referenced issues without messing with the GitHub API, at the moment. You can suggest such feature over here: GitHub Community.

It might be a good idea for you to make sure that your title is prime before referencing it - setting standard title conventions for your repository may help with that.
