I believe this is possible with some minor theme changes.

Prior discussion:

Awesome this is what im looking for,

just a question:

does this simply replace the vote - to like

or it adds another like system ?

Ideally i just want it to replace vote to like

Thanks

How to revamp upvote in custom theme? Do you have any recommendations. Target is to have my own handler for click, because It isn't enough just alter upvoted class 😉

My thoughts:

Create custom html component in post.tpl, ex: component="post/like" Define module, that should be used with - forum/topic/posts, to add click handler.
