Extending this a bit, sometimes the converse would be useful.

Often in polls it is useful to have a free text answer, or an expanded answer. For example:

_Poll ([view on site](https://meta.discourse.org/t/turn-off-comments-and-replies-on-a-poll/369105/4))_

I’d want ‘Other’ to invite a free text response, either as a (short) reply, or maybe something in the poll itself.
