The 'Discussion' function on Wiki Pages (feature_wiki_discuss) is questionable. Currently it merely asks me to create a topic (even if the topic exists) and there is an intermediate page where one has to confirm their choice, which is cumbersome UI. Perhaps I'm using it wrong, but it's not what I'm after anyway.

I would like to add a link to a Forum Topic WITHOUT using the parentId=XX format ie.

https://mmysite.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=18

I have seen a hint that this might be possible given the below example,

tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=10&comments_postComment=post&comments_title=My Topic&comments_data=++++++++++++++++Use+this+thread+to+discuss+the+page%3A+%5Btiki-index.php%3Fpage%3DMy%2520Topic%7CMy+Topic%5D%0A++++++++++++&comment_topictype=n

But there must be a cleaner way to construct such a link involving comments_title? Ive tried a number of ways to craft this link but so far no luck.
Thinking it might look like this?
tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=10&comments_title=My+Topic

Any guidance appreciated.
