They probably won't add it.
Illia has stated that board code is susposed to stay as light-weight as possible. If they were to add the anchor tags, then they would either have to code them into the current forum code, or allow html. If they allow html, then all hell will break loose.
Hell, if I can't get them to add Alt (ctrl for mac) +s hotkey posting, then the odds of this are zero to none.
