Whilst not 100% on this idea, it might be reasonable include a menu option.

Perhaps the options here aren’t quite correct - but hopefully this shows the idea.

You could also perhaps slip “Official Warning” and “Whisper” in there as options too.  
This would also open up a place to indicate a “call” type as required by [Start a new conversation with a customer not yet in Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/start-a-new-conversation-with-a-customer-not-yet-in-discourse/43876) feature request.

The idea is to change the type of reply whilst editing.

In the same way as now clicking the reply button on a topic / post would continue to change the type / or update the “linked topic”.
