Automatically connect requests to follow-up requests

[RichardTaylor]

Currently users are advised to use annotations to link between related requests.

One could envisage a button for making a connected request, which automatically resulted in the requests being linked.

Related requests might be:

• A request for a more up to date version of the same information
• A new request based on information released on a thread, drilling down to obtain material
• A new request for information made by someone else so that the new requester is able to challenge a refusal

Requests could be connected by tagging:

• Expose per-request tags publicly and enable searching and browsing using such tags #2302

Normal, or special, annotations could connect requests:

• Special annotations - for links to articles based on responses, summaries of correspondence, or admin notes #34 (comment)

Is this added unnecessary complexity, or a potentially powerful feature?
