Create Issue link may not work on Windows

The link to create an issue may not work on Windows due to URL path length restrictions. It looks like URLs over about 2048 bytes (actually 2046 in my tests) simply don't work (nothing happens, browser does not open).
I do not think it matters what your system browser is (mine is Chrome). IE has a documented URL limit of 2083 characters, and 2048 characters for the path.
A typical URL for deprecation cop on my system (installed with chocolatey) is about 4.5k long. I don't have any ideas for a workaround. Stripping out the path prefix ("c:%5CProgramData%5Cchocolatey%5Clib%5Catom.0.123.0%5Ctools%5Catom%5Cresources%5capp%5c" in my case) still leaves a traceback well over 2k.
