Quote chat message in reply on desktop

I use this method:
1. Copy the complete message you want reply to
2. Enter in a full editor to type the new message
3. Paste the content into the text box
4. Highlight the text and press the "quote" button available in the toolbar
5. Write the response
I hope this can help you.

Yeah, it looks the same, but doesn't work the same. The quote doesn't have the reference to the original message, the Android reply feature does. You can click on the quoted message in the mobile app and it'll take you to the message and hightlight it, but not the desktop/web app.
SuhasBharadwajK I found that, you have to click on the "Format Textbox" functions, then it will open the quote button. See the attached image.

you can also type ">" to trigger quote but ofc quoting is wasting clicks while Teams is meant to make communication easier dan faster.
Why they only enable it on mobile version is super unclear.
