What issues are available to be linked to?

[Alexander Moskvin]

Hello folks!

I'm using standard Jira Service Desk Cloud functionality.  When you click "Link issue" in the issue screen you can select the link type and search for issues. 

1. Can anybody explain what is the logic behind this drop-down list of issues?  Why some issues are not available in the search and can only be entered by the exact key?

2. Is it possible to configure this list, for example using JQL?

Thanks!
