Ok thanks, I just tried that and what I’m seeing is what looks like a referenced entity. When I click it granted it takes me to the comment in question, but I don’t think the user would know that is actually a comment because it doesn’t look like a comment, it looks like an entity.

What I meant with this request was the ability to actually quote a comment (and ideally for them to have public ID’s). Should I make a separate request for that since you have closed this one?

And coincidentally I was thinking about this feature yesterday and just posted some commentary about how to possibly do it with your current “link to entity” functionality over here:

> I wanted to suggest another approach to this feature, which I for one could really use: Currently, you can link part of any rich text to an entity, very nice feature. When you do this, that quoted text shows up in the references areas of the entity it is linked to. It occurred to me with an additional tweak, this feature could be expanded to handle most of the “Discourse quote” functionality: If you could take the part of the rich text field that is being linked to, and move it via day drag …

In fact this is kind of meta, but being able to have comments unfurl like that across Fibery is just what I had in mind and would be hugely helpful to my team. Thanks @mdubakov !
