I may be wrong, but I think it’s not possible to achieve what you want with standard BBCode.

I suspect adding the feature would be tedious and not reliable in the sense that it won’t work if you paste your Discourse’s BBCode into another software.

It could also cause issues if you need to parse your BBcode to another formatting language in the future.

That said, I’m not a programmer. It’s just more of feelings and thoughts.
