   @pfefferle Maybe like a „Trackback link“ in the comments? (You mean, when a blog article gets cited, right?)

     @Sascha @NickBohle @cyclingrichard aren't you interested in what the quote (text) was? don't you want to answer the quote?

     isn't trackback/pingback a step back?

     @Sascha @NickBohle @cyclingrichard the "problem" is, that there is no unified way how themes show pingbacks.

     so you simply suggest to separate them from the "normal" comments!?

     @pfefferle @NickBohle @cyclingrichard Of course, context would be nice and is needed. But a different type of formatting would be also helpful. That’s what I meant with reference to the trackbacks. The positioning of them, it was/is just at the same place as the comments.

     @pfefferle @Sascha @NickBohle @cyclingrichard The `send quoteRequest to` field sounds like a good approach.

     @pfefferle @Sascha @cyclingrichard

     Theme implementation is a crucial point. I remember that I once wrote an article how to separate comments and pingbacks in "The Morning After" theme back in 2008.

     How comments and pingbacks look in Twenty Twenty-Four nowadays (see below).

     Furthermore - for me - a comment / reply continues a conservation. A quote starts a new conservation.
