Copying messages to threads

[leonoverweel]

Hey, love this bot; came across it when trying to find something with slightly different functionality.

In the situation where someone writes a reply in the main channel instead of in the thread, I want to be able to reply with e.g. /threadbot move to https://slack.com/link-to-thread. Ideally the bot would then copy the contents of the message (including any attachments) and make a new reply in the thread with those contents, suffixed by something like "said outside of thread by @PersonName at 3:15pm." It would then reply to the out-of-thread message with a link to the in-thread reply version of the message, and ask the person to delete their out-of-thread message.

Is this feasible and in scope for threadbot?

(Happy to write + PR this ourselves btw)

hi! it does sound like a great feature to have for this bot but the problem is i'm not dedicating time to it anymore, so it's unlikely it will have this feature unless someone builds it
