What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

You are unable to add quick links to articles (e.g. @article) from within discussion board posts.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

By adding this feature to discussion boards, you could easily embed a link to an article for discussion without having to post either the url or leave the board to find the article.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

Unsure of at this time.

    Great idea but like others said, might be tricky to implement this. Sure, maybe we would need something like "extended writing permission" to allow only certain people to do so.

    It's a good idea. Not very high priority though.

    Nice idea, not sure if it would add a ton of checks in the background (and who is allowed to @ articles? Anyone posting in the board? Or just authors/owners?)   Honestly, I think that article block or link are just fine. This one would be WAY low on my list of priorities.

    I must admit, as nice as this sounds, it wouldn't work well when the system must identify if you're authorised to see articles.

    You can already do that by copy pasting the link to the article or the article block.   Both can be found as copy to clipboard links from Articles and Categories AND the article sidebar.
