Mentions as quotes
A posting style I use a lot on twitter is to extract a quote from an article and tweet that with a link to the article, for example:
“The web doesn’t suck. Your websites suck. All of your websites suck.” @fakebaldur https://t.co/OunZre0KAI

Something twitter has started to do with tweets is that if you link to one inside a tweet, it will display the tweet indented after your tweet, hiding the URL like so:
I was wondering how to do this as a part of auto-linking URLs, and realised that with a fragmention, we potentially have a quote from the source in the link itself. Thus we could turn a link like this: https://kartikprabhu.com/article/marginalia#In%20the%20case%20of%20digital%20content,%20the%20artifact,%20once%20created%20and%20published,%20is%20not%20static.
into an inline embed like this:
kartikprabhu.comIn the case of digital content, the artifact, once created and published, is not static
I updated my fork of cassis-autolink.py to have this behaviour. Do let me know what you think.
