can't directly open link in replied-to message (new reply UI) #18043
Description
Is your suggestion related to a problem? Please describe.
matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#3553 is on nightly.
It used to be that the reply content worked like a normal message and you could just click links.
This isn't possible anymore. I think that is bad UX.
Having just been in this situation, i felt
- it wasn't obvious why clicking the link "did nothing" - what element actually did was scroll to that msg and (too subtly) highlight it
- takes an unnecessary step to go to the link
I think this is reasonable, you might visit a link again/at all only when it is discussed again.
Links (in general) should probably also have a hover effect, like underline to indicate the action?
Describe the solution you'd like.
Make clickables in the replied-to msg clickable without going to the quoted message first.
Describe alternatives you've considered.
