So the whole thing could cater to a little javascript that would place a normal link for engaging in discussion under the article on a WordPress site. First the javascript would call a function (create thread on Discourse, which the WP plugin already does) and show the user that a thread is being created, and when the javascript gets the information from Discourse that the thread is created, it would redirect the user to the comments thread on Discourse.
Is that right, or am I imagining it too simply?
