Just wanted to add to this discussion: I spent 20 minutes looking for “Reply as a linked topic” and never found it. It was only because of this thread that I located it.

If you want a feature to be used, you make it visible to your users. Having a non-default option to reply as a linked topic should be part of the Reply UI, visible to all on every reply.
