It would be useful if I could quote posts from external discourse instances. Something like

> [quote=“member, post:3, topic:275, source:meta.discourse.org”]

Where _source:meta.discourse.org_ would provide a similar level of context as internal quotes.

My primary use case is that I’m currently training my Staff to rely on flags instead of manual moderation, and wanted to show them this:

> [@Understanding post flags in Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/understanding-post-flags-in-discourse/275/1):
>
> If the **same post is hidden by a second round of flags** , the flags must now be manually handled by a moderator. The user is not given an opportunity to edit the post, as they already had that opportunity, and the community still sees an issue.

I copied/quoted that from the topic here on meta, and pasted it into my forum, not really thinking about what I was doing. It of course linked to a topic on my forum with the same id, which makes perfect sense, but isn’t what I want.

I _could_ link to the post directly, which works nicely with the onebox, but I really just want to call out the relevant piece.

Aside from staff-training, I also run a few different sites that could benefit from occasionally sharing parts of conversations between them. As an added bonus, this would show users that there’s a larger Discourse world out there by bridging conversations between communities.
