My feature request (idea), is simple, sometimes we get here at U&L questions that can get better answers at ServerFault (for example), they have a relation to here, since these questions have a touch with U&L, but the whole scope is ServerFault related.

My idea is to create the ability to put a link to this question at ServerFault, hence the question owner can get a better answer, and everybody would be happier.

Take a look at this question for example, it has a U&L touch but in ServerFault or WebApps, this guy can get a better answer.

This would probably be better on the main meta (meta.stackoverflow.com) since it's not really specific to U&L. Please do search there, there have been a lot of discussions about similar ideas (there's even a cross-posting tag). Eg: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/11600/…, meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/64995/…, and others. (Caution: meta.SO is fun, but... different.) – Mat Dec 27 '11 at 12:46
@Mat It's fine to post generic stuff on our meta instead of meta.SO, but I do think this was already brought up there – Michael Mrozek♦ Dec 27 '11 at 19:14

What many people do is comment on the post with a link to the related question from the foreign site. It's all the better if such commentary is done on both posts.

Is this not what migration does?

The question will still be visible on the original site...
