I'd like to see an option to open a particular post as a different user. Mastodon clients have this and I find it pretty handy.

ie. Clicking the menu on a post should have "open as" which then lets you select one of your other logged in identities, and switches back to the post from that account.

Should be. I know the URLs don't match up, but you can do a search for (what Connect shows as) "Lemmy link" from another instance.

So you would;

Get the "Lemmy link" from the opened post (this is the URL of the original post)
Switch to the other user
Do a search/lookup for that URL
Display it

I was trying this manually from Connect, but it looks like searching for a URL doesn't work through the search interface there, so I can't test it. Should work though, as those searches are OK through the web interface.
