Text chat quotes should include a link to the original message

When using the quote function in the text chat, there needs to be a way for the readers to get to the original message quoted quickly and easily.

For instance, the gray bar at the left-hand side of the chat window that denotes a quote could be made a shortcut to the original message; or the bar could be replaced with some more visually evocative symbol like an arrow in a circle or something to the effect.
