Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

I often ask a question in a busy room and then have to move on before receiving an answer. I would like to be able to jump back to messages I have sent in the past to see if anybody responded.

#### Why would you like to do it?

So that I can engage a bit more asynchronously with high-traffic rooms.

#### How would you like to achieve it?

Most simply, by clicking some sort of "jump to previous message sent by me" button. It would often be sufficient to jump to the last message sent by me, but I fear this would then make me nervous about saying new things when I know I'm waiting for a response to an old message.

### Have you considered any alternatives?

I sometimes remember to use my starbot, which copies a link to a message to a dedicated room if I react to it with a star.

### Additional context

_No response_
