Thanks for explaining.

Ok, if I’m understanding you correctly:

1. you want the topic creation and comment linking functionality of [JS embeds](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embed-discourse-comments-on-another-website-via-javascript/31963); and
2. you want just a link with a short description in the first post of the linked topic in discourse.

Is that right? For 2 have you tried the `embed truncate` site setting? If you have, what about that did you not like? I understand you have touched on that a bit in your first reply, however could you explain specifically what you’re struggling with? Maybe give an example as to what is stopping you achieving your desired outcome (and what exactly that desired outcome is).
