find/reply to a specific tweet (whose URL is known) [possibly a documentation or feature request] #323

Open BlueberryFoxtrot opened 2 years ago

BlueberryFoxtrot commented 2 years ago

I'm a new user and I have RTFM'd and googled high and low, and I can't seem to find a way to use rainbowstream to read and reply to a specific tweet whose URL (or hash string from the URL) is known. Just as an example, if the user already knows a URL like this: https://twitter.com/joerogan/status/1488019683404136448, how can the user navigate to that tweet in rainbowstream (and optionally reply to the tweet). All the options I can seen in the documentation are about playing an ongoing stream and replying to what pops up (complete with rainbowstream-assigned temporary id), in real time. If there is no way to use rainbowstream to navigate to a specific tweet or twitter URL, then I would like to request that feature. If there is a way, then I would be grateful for a hint where that is documented. If it is not documented, I would like to request an improvement of the documentation.
