It's not so much that you can't reference the discussion, but that the discussion is named for some random UID generated (e.g. #x5bX9... in your example. Would be nice to be able to construct a human readable version or alias for that, minimally.

This is really annoying as we often use discussions to structure channels and urgently need a working referencing. Hope to see a solution soon.

It's OK for most discussion to have random name, but I would like to be able to rename a few of them, turn them public and be able to reference them, too.
