Permanent route to posts

Feature
1

I would like to be able to link to single posts with a permanent route.

Currently, single posts are reachable via their position inside a thread. If a post is moved to another thread or the order of posts inside a thread is changed, the URL to this post should not change.

You can do this by linking to the post ID: https://meta.discourse.org/p/POST_ID

The post ID is not directly exposed in the UI, but you can get it from the DOM:

The image displays a user interface with an open text document, a dashboard displaying a post by Thomas Kalka thoka, and a section of code with an arrow pointing to data-post-id example code. (Captioned by AI)

The following link will always end up at your post above: https://meta.discourse.org/p/1703790
