That's not my use case, and I doubt that's the key issue. My key issue
is to know when I open a link if the issue is closed or still requires
my attention.

Do we really have a problem with users reopening the issues instead of
reporting new ones?

Anyway, this feature will only work with JavaScript enabled. Color
scheme works always. I you don't have any objections, let's go for
color scheme implemented first and then move to A/B testing with
additional concepts and user stories to ease UX.
