You could use automation. However the rule might become cumbersome if it needs updating frequently. This would depend on how many clients/epics you have at any given time and how often they change.
Here is how...
trigger - issue created
condition - whatever you need to ensure the appropriate issues are actioned
action - use if/else and for each client value you can set the epic link for the newly created issue
