Implement ability to link to specific points in an archived chat log - permalink
It’s often useful to be able to link to a specific conversation or statement within an archived chat log for a particular day. IRC chat-logging/archiving Web apps typically a way to do that; e.g., http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20150408#l-89 and http://logs.glob.uno/?c=freenode%23whatwg&s=7%20Apr%202015&e=7%20Apr%202015#c944354
I guess the obvious place to expose the link anchors in the gitter UI would be just to make the timestamps be hyperlinks (I mean the current, e.g., “10 hours ago“ stamps in the recent logs and the, e.g., “28 January 2015“ stamps in the older logs.)
