Add message link redirect

[ghost]

Summary

With the above feature, the bot can get a discord.Message Type back with just the message link provided/

What is the feature request for?

discord.ext.commands

The Problem

Currently, you can only get a message's message link, but not reversing the function and get the message Type.

For example:

# To get a message link
message_link = message.jump_url  # we have that attribute

# The function I am suggesting

message = await bot.fetch_message(message_link)
print(type(message))
>> discord.Message

print(type(message_link))
>> str object

So that we can reverse the entire function and get a message type return back.

The Ideal Solution

Use the re library and use some regex to seperate the slashs of the links which represents the guild ID, channel ID and message ID respectively/

@ramansrivastava This issue isn't actually an issue, it is a feature that the person didn't know about.
In future, rather than messaging asking if there is anything you can help with, have a look and see for yourself if there is any issue that you know you can fix.
