There certainly is no widget for this -- but you may want to code
your own.
I wouldn't put numbers with different semantics into the same editing
widget, though. If you can live with two widgets, it should be possible
to create an edit field that contains the issue numbers of depending
issues with a separate submit button next to it that triggers an action
that edits all the other issues when pressed.
For edit actions see roundup/cgi/actions.py and documentation
