Being a heavy whatsapp user (Brazilian) I use Slack's forward function, inside the same conversation window (group or DM) as a "reference keeper" to what message I'm replying to, pretty much like whatsapp's "reply" feature. I understand the "also send as direct message/to group" mimics this. This, for me, is a good thread implementation for a chat tool.
