Is it possible to extend the “your topic is similar to” popup box to include hyperlinks that community members have already posted? If, for instance, I post a link [here](http://learn.media.mit.edu/), it would be very useful for me to be notified of other instances community members have posted the same link. Could be a good way to merge conversations and decrease redundancy, especially when using Discourse for an online course community where users are always re-posting the same resources.

Good idea, duplicated at [https://meta.discourse.org/t/checking-links-during-the-topic-creation/9726](https://meta.discourse.org/t/checking-links-during-the-topic-creation/9726) – let’s keep all the discussion there.
