Link to scheduled tweets in new drafts (before they are posted)

After scheduling a bunch of tweets, I sometimes need to create a new thread where I explain stuff and on each tweet I quote another tweet I published before.
As it is right now, I can't do this and have to wait until all the initial tweets are published to compose and schedule the summary thread.
A challenge you may face is that the summary thread can't be scheduled for a time that's previous to the linked/quoted tweets times.

    Came here for this. I do drip threads where I schedule a reply to a thread every day.

    Each day I reply to the previous tweet and continue the thread.

    Basically this creates a thread distilled over a few days.

    But I can't schedule the replies as they're not posted yet.

    I would love a way to do so.

    Oh I really wish this is possible. Retweet on a schedules tweet is uber important.

    often times, we want to make a context out of a thread we just made. And it is now not possible to schedule it if the thread we want to queue is still on queue.

    Would be awesome if we can have it available so we dont have to wait before planning the next second step. This way, we will make the best working flow for ALL scheduled tweets we have in mind in 1 sitting.

    This feature would make my life so much easier. I often do the same as fmvilas, where I schedule a bunch of tweets that reference each other.
    Here's my ideal situation:

    • I can get a link to a scheduled tweet (maybe use the same format that's currently used for profile tweets? e.g. https://typefully.com/TrezyCodes/1lOM51g)
    • I can add the scheduled tweet link to a new tweet
    • Typefully will generate a link preview (and allow converting to a quote) just like with a regular Twitter link
    • When I schedule the new tweet, Typefully should verify that the new tweet is scheduled to go out after the scheduled tweet, and show an error with the thread if not
      The biggest challenge (I think) is going to be with changing the schedule date of an unpublished tweet that's linked in other scheduled tweets. All of those other tweets will need to be checked (could be a pretty big crawling issue) and the user will need to be informed if there are errors with any of them.
