The current solution for this would be to Link the JIRA issues with an 
appropriate description (e.g., duplicates, resolved by, etc.) and then close

As I recall this was part of the original intent of the "Needs Assessment" 
phase. Whether or not that triage has drifted over the last year, I can't say. 
But I agree with your opinions that it's the ideal time for such activities.
