By formal grammar or just for the benefit of the human audience?

Do you mean the parser should be told to append this text to the text
three texts back, or do you mean that the speaker is just informing
the audience that they are adding something to what John said some
time before?

It seems to me that the whole idea of appending by syntax is going to
be an unworkable quagmire, especially if you allow appending a
non-text to another non-text so that the result is a valid text.

If all you are talking about is some kind of announcement by the
speaker that their text is a continuation (in terms of ideas, not in
terms of syntax) to somebody else's text, that can of course be done
with SEI, COI, etc.

If you are talking syntax, I still don't see it.
