Is there a way to quote something that was said on a different Discourse instance? I’m guessing no, but thought I’d ask.

I know I can manually quote it, but I’d like Discourse to add the link arrows and have the expand functionality that it present in non manual quotes.

I’ve tried searching but there’s a lot of noise when you search for anything involving quotes.
