Comment:

 I looked at the original patch and it worked as expected.

 Inspired, I re-wrote the patch to add the following information in the
 Author meta box on the {{{comment.php?action=editcomment}}}:

 * "In response to" <link to post>
 * "In reply to" <link to parent comment>

 For each section there is a link to the original post and the post it's a
 reply to (where appropriate). I did re-use variants of existing comment
 code from the comment list screen {{{/wp-admin/comment.php}}}.

 (See attached images)

 Potentially we could place this additional information to the Status meta
 box (on the right hand side where the date/time and other status
 information is shown) so comments encouraged if that's where it might fit
 logically.

 Further inspired I also wrote some changes to the Moderate Comment
 {{{/wp-admin/comment.php?action=approve/spam/trash}}} screen - I can
 include the patch this in this ticket or if the best practice is to open a
 new ticket I can do that. But in principle the same additional information
 is displayed to that screen.
