Allow Issues to have multiple Repositories or auto clone issue to two repositories

Question

Our project has a common set up that we handle the front and backend on two repositories.

We use Github Projects for managing both repos but we are running into the issue where we essentially need to clone one task so it can become an issue for a single repository.

Is there a way to allow one issue to have two repositories or to auto clone tasks with labels to somehow speed up or improve this process? I am open for creative responses but I would prefer something free.
