I don't see a benefit in using the Pockets plugin. That plugin isn't made for showing dynamic data. This is the code that transforms your pocket into what you can see on your web page:

   public function toString() {
   ...
       $plugin->EventArguments['Pocket'] = $this;
       $plugin->fireEvent('ToString');

       if (strcasecmp($this->Format, 'raw') == 0) {
           return $this->Body;
       } else {
           return Gdn_Format::to($this->Body, $this->Format);
       }
   }

While you could theoretically hook into this event and replace some placeholder text with the processed data, you can as well skip that extra step and write directly to the page with your own plugin.

Using the Pockets Plugin would only make sense if you want to allow moderators to work with that in a dynamical way. YOu would have to define some kind of "template languge": e.g. {{DiscussionID:249}} and then you can hook into theevent shown above, parse the content and if it is {{DiscussionID:\d}}, you replace the content.

But instead of all that you should better think about writing a module that takes the discussion id as a parameter and displays the content. Look at bleistivts Birthday Module plugin to see how such a simple plugin for a module needs to done.

Thanks much. Cant believe I didn't see it in my plugins list. If it was a snake, I would have surely been bit!
