Gregory's Server@Gargron I would love it. I miss it when I want to point out a toot and when I feel the need to add something to it why I want to point that toot out.

Sometime, person X, whom I trust, toots
"this 👀" with a link. And when I read it, it's worth sharing. But the toot is opaque and my followers don't have context, so I quote to tell them why "this" is worth looking at. And so they also discover person X.
The alternative is to make my own toot pointing to the "this" directly, which offends my sense of building connections.
