can I reference another channel?
Hi
Much like in slack where you can type `#other_channel` and then clicking on that would take you there, I'd like to similarly be able to reference other channels in messages.
Why - because I can tell people where to post things or where to look for things more easily.
Thanks!

joeybaruchamdig Here's a Microsoft doc that details how you can cross-post within channels: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/cross-post-a-channel-conversation-in-teams-9c1252a3-67ef-498e-a7c1-dd7147b3d295
It's also detailed in these resources (plus other productivity hacks for MS Teams):

- https://www.avepoint.com/ebook/microsoft-teams-tips
- looks like this only works when create new post, right? I mean
if you create post from TeamA-ChannelA, @TeamB-ChannelB, Then B-B can see the post
but the reply A-A-reply will not dispaly in B-B, can't @B-B, vice versa
- Only within the same Team, you can mention it by @channelname. To cross-mention between Teams, you can copy/paste some content and clean up the text.
Can confirm this does not work.
I just tested @General #General @general #general in a sibling channel under the same team and nothing happens
