Send messages to specific threads when certain emoji reactions are applied #46

Sometimes we'll be having a random conversation when we think, "hey, this message would be a good Lens of the Week" or "hey, that's a signpost". Copy-pasting the message over to the relevant thread where we catalog those items has a bit of friction, and so many of those valuable messages get lost. What if a simple emoji reaction to a message could send the message off to a specific channel for easier cataloging?

🚏 can send the message to #signposts 🔍 to #lenses
📚 to #books
🗞️ to #worth-your-times 📝 to a yet-to-be-created #article-ideas (or similarly named) channel

This would be mostly a copy-and-paste operation, either copy-pasting the text of the message or (if possible) pasting a deep-link to the message into the new channel.

We may need to add some kind of guide to remind users which emojis do which things.
