It would be great to link to other records in the comment section of records, in the same way we can reference collaborators using the @ feature. It could use the same @ function, or perhaps use # as a pre-cursor. For example, if I typed the following:

    Hey, @Jane Doe, you can find more details about that here: #Record Name

Where the “#Record Name” links to the record in Airtable.

Does that make sense?
