I have an idea “the button” is the 🔗 at the bottom of each post. I wonder if this mockup @tophee had in mind:

I went off on a tangent because this solution knocks the current “Reply” button out of the link box.

I feel it doesn’t really belong there anyway… I’m clicking "link to this article’ not “reply with quote”

I found the topic which is most relevant to my sidebar comment:

> [@Menu toggle for different reply modes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/menu-toggle-for-different-reply-modes/58133/1):

> Continuing the discussion from [With the new right gutter, where should "Reply as Linked Topic" go?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/with-the-new-right-gutter-where-should-reply-as-linked-topic-go/44815/81): This would also be useful for selecting a whisper type reply per the earlier mock-up in the original topic.

Solving the reply-as-linked-topic need would simplify the 🔗 usage which is the heart of the current topic.
