Something like linuxfr's norloges - the ability to permalink based on timestamp

[ara4n]

So that if someone mentions a timestamp (formatted however) in a chatroom, you can click on the timestamp to jump to that point in conversation in the room. E.g. 'Hey, what were we talking about on April 26?' and you click on the date and it zips you to Apr 26 2016

Presumably you'd implement this by:

• generally supporting time-based permalinks
• Riot's being responsible for digesting of any date/time matching strings into said permalinks, making any sensible assumptions about implied year, week, day etc.

Yup. One nicer extension could be if the sending client also marked up timestamps with some metadata to make it easier for other clients to recognise them - e.g. `<a rel="ts://2017-04-06T17:15:18+00:00">a few days ago</a>` or something. This has overlap with tagging users with their MXID and other desiderata. Supporting time-based permalinks is a bit tough as time is bifurcated in Matrix. But would be a really nice user feature, i think.
