In GitLab you can have releases.  
However if you store your build artifacts in Nexus they are not shown in GitLab Releases.

Would be great to have a GitLab Nexus Integration available for this.

GitLab is becoming a competitor to Nexus, if not already are.  
Currently GitLab Packages does not support the same number of formats as Nexus do.  
Having this Integration Support would keep Nexus in the game, and stave off those who would argue for One Platform for Everything.

I think you could do this sort of integration using GitLab Release API  
[https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/releases/#create-a-release](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/releases/#create-a-release)  
It looks like it could support linking to Nexus with assets:links:filepath.
