Add Block: Webmentions Reply

Talked about this briefly with @dshanske. Putting it on my to-do list to design.

https://indieweb.org/reply#Post_a_reply - It is just a matter of marking up a link with the class u-in-reply-to. Webmentions reads microformats 2 classes for context.

Two ideas:

Make it a block

Offer a placeholder that allows you to link to an external website, and then do an embed of whatever is being linked using their OG data.

Link Settings

Or — should this be an advanced setting on every link?

What do you think, @dshanske?

[dshanske]

Well, reply is one of many relationships a link could have. I would say that it is probably a block

[melchoyce]

Cool. Can you elaborate a bit on that?

[jasmussen]

Any movement on this one? It might be good plugin territory?

[ellatrix]

What does it do? Not sure I understand. :)

If your site and the one you are linking to supports webmentions, it would read the markup and display your reply on their site as a comment.

"Webmention is a simple way to notify any URL when you link to it from your site."

There hasn't been much attention on this one, seems it's better explored through plugins for now. Should be easier with some of the recent tools, like the HTML API.
