TIL: Custom Third-Party Smart Chips in Google Docs

Google Docs and Google Sheets have a native feature called “smart chips”. You can type “@”, search for, and add links to people, files, events, etc.

Apparently Google Docs also allows you to create custom third-party smart chips using App Script. This seems like it would be really useful for private third-party links.

I’m really surprised that someone hasn’t written a good script for GitHub links that includes support for private repositories. I searched around but I couldn’t find anything. I think it would be super useful for companies that use Google Docs and GitHub.
