> [@purldator](#): > > Expand on the link map by offering links to the replies they first appeared in within the thread. This can be done with a simple text arrow such as ˅ which visually points down into the replies of the topic. This is in direct relation to the references section of any Wikipedia article. The very first thing shown is an up arrow ˄ which links to where it was mentioned and cited. I think this is a good idea, but it does overlap ever so slightly with Summarize This Topic. Once you are linking to the posts where the URL appeared, you start wondering: - if this URL / video / image is great, isn’t the post it is in great too? Merely linking the two.. is that enough? - maybe the “best” post should be part of the summary? - maybe some excerpt of the best posts should appear in the topic summary? - maybe we should “re-sort” the topic so the best posts are at the top..? And then slip slip on down the slippery slope and we are in a world of pain. Probably the best thing to do is just drive people towards “Summarize This Topic” if they want the TL;DR version of the topic **instead of artificially pushing the best content into the topic summary**. Just to elaborate: the Popular Links section is meant to be like _relevant footnotes_ to the topic, and shouldn’t be seen as more than that. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/expanding-op-meta-bar-images-videos/23740)._
