Description

(Opened here instead of Talk because I assume it needs some groundwork here first, feel free to transfer the issue.)

Currently when you get a notification about a Talk message, you can only "View chat". This takes quite long and often you just want to quickly reply without taking you out of your flow.

It would be very cool to have a way to directly reply to the message, which would automatically @mention that person and append your message, without you needing to leave your place and flow. (Android has this functionality on its notifications and it’s quite useful.)

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing the notification's current "View chat" action and how Talk messages are represented, then determine the entry points needed for a notification reply. Done means a user can reply from the notification, with the recipient automatically @mentioned, without opening the chat.
