I think the consensus is to use option 2. Here are the 16px and 24px versions:
16px | 24px |
---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
I'm happy to move forward with these

@sophshep mentioned in Slack that a
💬 icon might be more appropriate here. I'm going to give that a try.
Additional reasoning:
- It should be closer to "mention" than "link" since it often means there is additional context to be found alongside the reference
- Other icons in the timeline show the medium in which the action took place (on a project board, for example), so this one should reference a comment
- It feels more human & action oriented, especially next to a user's avatar

@colebemis I like the speech bubble you created with the arrow because it feels stronger is the sentiment of referencing a conversation from elsewhere.
The arrow makes me think it's going to be an external link or that it will open in a new window.
@sophshep I'm wondering if the arrow came from the other side if it would feel different from going to another location.
But that being said I agree with you and @sophshep and also think the speech bubble alone can work as well.

Currently, we use the bookmark
icon for "cross-reference" in the timeline:
But I think a link
icon would make more sense:
16px | 24px |
---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
What do y'all think?

@sophshep I love this reason to opt for something closer to
@colebemis It really is in line with the use much more than linking. With

@sophshep @ashygee Here's what it would look like as a speech bubble:
16px | 24px |

I like the speech bubble
I'm wondering what it might look like if it was the speech bubble with the arrow?
I tried this out (see below), but I think it makes the icon a little cluttered. I think a simple speech bubble gets the job done in this case.

I like speech bubble too!

@colebemis posted these options in the channel:
Option 2 feels the strongest out of these 4. Here is a UI example
