Good luck finding it out of 428 pages, checked first chunk of pages.

Glad to see you approve of the idea though.
Despite what it says on the main page about searching, that's only useful for finding answers, not for contributing upvotes to a suggestion, BECAUSE... ever since the new moderators that contract with Valve & get a green label, & are referred to as "members of Steam Support" took over, any topic older than about 2 weeks is considered a "necropost" and will get you infractions on your posting record.
So, via their reprimands, the new moderators & Steam Support have sent a clear message that searching is only meant to get answers and that responding to topics older than 2 weeks is A VIOLATION of Steam!
If you had posted a link to a suggestion that was made within the last 2 weeks, I would agree with you, however.
and you're welcome, it's an affirmation forum init?
I approve!
Yep, best part functionality for it is already in place, so the change would be minimal to just expand the nicknames to allow you to do it to anyone.
So you have to be careful what you're copying and pasting or screenshotting.
For this reason, it's better to use numerical codes so that if you accidentally leak your nickname that you have set for someone, they'll probably have no idea what it means, all they'll know is that you set some numbers for their nickname.
I might be temporarily away when you reach out, though.
It works like I described, though. If that setting that I mentioned is set to "off" & you copy a message from someone then type "/quote" and paste it, then it will have copy & pasted their nickname text rather than their username.
And whether that setting is on or off, if you post a screenshot to a chat or anywhere else that you take with something like the snipping tool or print screen, it will just show whatever is on your screen, which definitely includes the nickname (which is easy to fix if you slow down and dump the screenshot into Paint, set the right color to black, and then just delete the areas that you don't want people seeing but...)
Why the ♥♥♥♥ hasn't Steam been slowly adding features from this?
Well hopefully this will be implemented since it seems like something that would be easy for Valve to do
Didn't even know that was a thing, intresting

augmented steam, previously enhanced steam (discontinued) adds this in the profile menu, since more than 7 years.
on native Steam itself, this function is deliberately not easily accessible for non-friends and i wont put any hopes up that it will ever be.
