Social web feature dream: The ability to relate (sets of) posts together to say "these posts are referring to the same thing".
I'd use this for these posts and their replies:

Sure, we have hashtags, but they rather work to put the posts into a pool of others also bearing that hashtag. I'm thinking of drawing a line between specified posts to say they're related.
Does #ActivityPub already have this, I wonder? cc: @evan
@miblo @monsieuricon kind of! We've got link relations, which might be what works. We also have `tag`, which is more like "tagging someone in a photo" or "tagging a place" than just hashtags.
@evan @monsieuricon Oooh, great, thanks! Link relations (https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-link) as a "qualified relation" sound ideal, letting us express the strength of the relationship.
I actually have a little pipe full of these dreams (https://miblo.net/ppic_notes.html) and getting the sense that AP may have it all.
