"Reply Privatily" function in Teams chats: when available?

Question

In a group chat in Teams, the function "reply privately" is not available (yet...).
Idea:

• I want to react privately to a message from a team member
• now I can use the "reply" functions, and all teammembers will see my reaction
• sometimes worth to react in private to the sender => the "reply privately" function would redirect me to the 1-on-1 chat with the sender, incl. a visual of his original message (similar to the "reply privately" function in WhatsApp).

Hello @PhDH

Thank you for your heads up.

I believe that the next links might be a good clue when to expect this to be either available or make suggestion.
