Subject: [PATCH] Added MessageReferencer for text.Rich

This commit added MessageReferencer for the text.Rich segments, which
allows a message to highlight a URL or text as a reference to other
messages. This could be used for replies as well as links that are
supposed to go to other messages.

The frontend gets to decide how exactly to represent the message when it
is clicked. However, as of right now, there is no API to fetch a single
message individually, so this API is limited to just within the message
buffer.
