Cite Quoted Person
Problem to solve
I tend to cite multiple comments in a single reply.
As a result, I end up quoting multiple people, sometimes quoting several people back-to-back, before even writing my reply.
In those instances it feels like I'm not properly citing those individuals. I feel like it might seem I'm not providing new readers appropriate context for a given quote. It might also be implied that separate quotes are from the same person, leading to mis-attribution.
Further details
An example where I quoted multiple people back-to-back:
The mentions in each quote were added by me.
Proposal

, paste the highlighted text followed by a citation, such as - @hutson
