Is this built into Discourse at all? Eg, something like: `https://meta.discourse.org/t/current-projects-april-2025/361263/post-reply`

There’s a component from 2021 [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/opening-a-reply-window-via-url/44781/18) but it doesn’t seem to work with the latest version of Discourse. I know we can create new-topic URLs with `new-topic`, but can’t seem to find a way to do the same for creating replies.

Hey there, as you’ve discovered yourself, this isn’t a supported feature. I do recommend voting for that topic you’ve linked and using that topic to gain traction instead.
