Ah right, I think that would be a different plugin. With the ReplyTo plugin, each comment strictly has a single parent (or no parent). The mention is just there for a convenience, but is not required for the plugin to work.
To change the way mentions work, would be something very different. The plugin would have to decide which comment the mention refers to, and that would be fairly hit-or-miss - it could be guessed as the last comment by that user *before* the comment the mention appears in, but there is no guarantee that this is what the reply text is really referring to.
