Feature suggestion: Twitter permalinks on blockquotes #15

As I was looking at Kevin's notes from last nights HWC SF http://www.kevinmarks.com/hwc2016-08-24.html, I considered sending a tweet to an attendee with an offer of help. Since it takes a few minutes to trackdown the original tweet (more if its an older/archived conversation) and reply to it, it would be nice to have a URL permalink to the copy of the tweet on twitter as mentioning the PESOS post doesn't notify the speaker, but the note-taker on the PESOS post. I suspect, given the Twitter support, you could backport the permalink of the tweet to present within the html portion.

Perhaps something along the lines of the following template, where the highlighted portion is the added part in the html block:
<div class='h-cite'><span class='hovercard'><a class='h-card p-category' href='http://website.com'>User Name</a><iframe class='u-hovercard hidden-info' height=128 width=256 src='http://www.unmung.com/hovercard?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwebsite.com'>&lt;/iframe>&lt;/span>: <blockquote class='e-content'><p>Content of the original twitter post sent from noterlive <a class="u-syndication" title="Twitter Permalink for replies" href="https://twitter.com/kevinmarks/status/768642163643064320">#</a>

Come to think of, having u-syndication for all the original tweets could be generally useful and could potentially be used to conglomerate webmentions of surrounding conversation rather than just comments on the post for the aggregated tweets.... though this may require more UI thought to be useful/pretty.

And of course after writing all this, as a manual exercise, I've tried this on http://boffosocko.com/2016/08/25/homebrew-website-club-meetup-pasadenalos-angeles-notes-from-8-24-16/ and I notice that noterlive smartly creates a linked conversation out of the chain of tweets (https://twitter.com/ChrisAldrich/status/768613302989680640), so perhaps just including the permalink for the first tweet is enough to provide a findable context?
