Reply on Desktop App?
- I don't work for Microsoft, but if you'd like to try out the "quoted reply" it's now available in Public Preview.

The query is for reply to chat messages and not Posts in Channel. Your link is misleading
I was thankfully wrong!
Positive_energy Sorry that is not the answer.. you are referring specifically to opening a conversation in a "Channel".
As per Microsoft.. the desktop/macOS version is nerfed as far as "reply" goes. It is available in the iOS version of the app where you do a Long press to get reply; unfortunately as with every large enterprise.. good features get rejected because a bully in a suit doesn't understand when a smart engineers explains essential features of a product! Microsoft is certainly not an exception in this regard!
Positive_energy the question was how to reply to specific message in chat!
Not on Channel Posts!
Positive_energy. Your video does not address the issue the Op is experiencing.
On a mobile device, you can swipe right on a message & it will create a reply related to that message by capturing it in a small bubble. See green tick image in below screenshot.
The alternative posted by ChristianBergstrom requires additional steps & does not look the same as the mobile version. See red X in screenshot below.
The first quote at 09:47 on a mobile device shows the name in bold & has no time stamp.
The quote at 09:48 followed ChristianBergstrom steps, is cumbersome, doesn't show the name in bold
All messages already have the ellipses (...) menu. Simply supply a reply action & quote the message the same way as on a mobile device. Why do I have to copy / > / paste / Enter, enter to quote a message?
