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

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

After selecting text in a person's comment and pressing r, paste the highlighted text followed by a citation, such as - @hutson.
