Replies to comments linking back to original

Is there a configuration/plugin that will allow replies to a comment within a topic, to link back to the comment/quoted comment? Thanks!

To clarify, I am not asking for "genuinely threaded comments," but for the ability of "jumping" to the comment being replied to, or quoted.

That is not a bad idea actually, right now we just take the content of the quoted reply and put it in the post, but we can also generate a link to the reply that you are quoting and put it there as well. @julianlam @psychobunny

@baris exactly! I am surprised that such feature is not already part of NodeBB, as it would make a linear set of replies much more interactive, with a simple to implement solution.

If I'm not mistaken we already internally keep track of "toPid" and "fromPid" in core. So its possible right now to build a plugin that could take advantage of it

We have it working on @exodo
I have just done a pull request to https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-composer-default

@psychobunny wouldn't you agree this should be part of core?
