Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When a user on Discord replies to an earlier message, it both (a) is clear to everyone what is being replied to, and (b) pings that user so they can find the reply. But when the message is bridged to IRC there is no indication of any reply context at all. So for users on IRC they just see random messages without context or target, and have to spend a lot of effort trying to figure out what that person is talking about and who they are talking to.
Describe the solution you'd like
I think it would be fine if replies simply indicated who they were replying to, on systems like IRC that don't support this kind of metainformation. This would both ping the target of the reply, and indicate to others who it is directed at.
Describe alternatives you've considered
More reply information (like a full or partial quote) could be included. A full quote would potentially be way too much if replying to a longer message, but a partial quote might help with seeing what is being replied to. But i think just including the name of the user being replied to would be enough in most cases.
Additional context
There seems to be an open PR about discord replies #1706 but i don't know if this is related.
