Discourse supports [hypothes.is](https://web.hypothes.is/) oneboxing out of the box, but it is the default onebox:

It puts the annotated text as the title and the annotation as the content. It’s an ok solution but it’s not intuitive. Someone who sees that onebox has no clue that what it’s referring to is actually a web annotation, i.e. a piece of text on the net plus a comment on that piece of text.

It would be great to have a special onebox for this. Perhaps something that looks more like how the annotation is displayed by hypothes.is itself:
