I was writing a message on a topic. I was implicitly replying to the last message but I didn’t used the “reply to message” option. When I posted my message, I noticed that someone else posted several messages between my message and the message I was implicitly replying to. Is it possible to add an explicit “reply to” on my message by editing it? ---

I believe if you edit in a quote (even temporarily) to your message it makes the link. ---

If you mean this message: [Open new tab from the category selector? - #4 by Canapin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/open-new-tab-from-the-category-selector/90751/4) You can see that it’s clear that you are referring to codinghorror’s message. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/d/ad7f15da5426324021039d7b96279f50cb728af2.png) ---

Hi, Michael Brown’s reply was the solution. Is it possible to break this reply-to afterwards? On the message you screenshot Jay, I explicitely replied to Jeff (and I started to write after the previous message from The BestPessimist was posted) so I didn’t have this issue. ---
