I just deployed v0.0 of this feature.

First 5 links are expanded by default, the rest require an extra click.

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/6d10812b269e4ca51dcebba27fe9ced6a7cbf7d1](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/6d10812b269e4ca51dcebba27fe9ced6a7cbf7d1)

I will continue refining this tomorrow. In particular I want to strip out all outgoing links that appear **exactly** the same way in the post. That way completely redundant links will be removed.

So, for example if a link to “my awesome topic” exists and “my awesome topic” is the name of the topic, it will be stripped.

Me linking to:

> bell This feature is now merged into master as of May 31 One of our targets for 1.6 is to radically revamp the right gutter, [per previous discussions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-scrollbar-with-sticky-sidebar-necessitates-slight-ux-rethinkl/28635). More specifically, it will be a vertical scrollbar that better visually represents the “timeline” of discussion, from inception to the current latest post. We can do some clever stuff here representing long pauses in the discussions or periods of intense activity, but I agree with @erlend_sh we should defer that until a future relea…

Would not result in a link at the bottom (like it does now)

However, if I linked to [this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/repetitive-gutter-links/13495) which is partially unresolved, it would show up.

Ordering wise I am considering giving priority to incoming over outgoing, which is the reverse of what we are doing now.
