Posts which are replies already have an identifier for the comment which they are in reply to, I think: http://microcosm-cc.github.io/#comments-collection-post (see the 'inReplyTo' property).
So, perhaps posts that are "replies" could have a pointer stored with them to the "replied to post". Then it is trivial to load it and display it in a tooltip. Maybe.
