It doesn’t appear that this ever got implemented. We’re looking for something similar because we frequently reference topics in print material during committee meetings.

This statement feel more readable:

> Please search for topic #19084 on the forum

than this one:

> Please enter [Searching for the topic/post by ID?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/19084/) in your web browser’s URL bar

or this one:

> Please search for _Searching for the topic/post by ID_ and click on the first result
