With the API and an inbox notification, is it possible to get the parent comment in one call somehow?
Post Body

If I get a comment reply saying "I agree!" there's no context as to what comment that's replying to. I get the ID of the comment it's replying to, but I have to separately fetch the comment text, which is kind of a waste of an API call.

For example, currently if I look at the JSON for an item in the inbox, it has, "parent_id": "t1_ididid", but in order to display the user the context of the comment reply (Most users ask "Okay, I got a reply, but to which comment?") I have to make a separate call to api/info, which seems redundant.

Do you know of any parameter or anything that displays it inline that might be poorly documented or anything?
