Can chronological view show which posts people are replying to?

When viewing threads in chronological mode you'll often see messages in the middle of a page that say something like "I don't think that's a good idea, it just hurts your early game too much" with zero context. Could there just be a little link to the post they must have been replying to? Even better would be with a little on-hover effect to show the post so we can figure out what that conversation was about.
