reply to message with channel webhook

Is it possible to use Webhook.send() to reply to a message in the same channel? I followed the docs and it makes it look like you could add the reply parameter to the MessagePayload.create() and set the reference like described in this question in this forum https://discord.com/channels/222078108977594368/1171346142823460886. This is the code I am using. The message sends to the right channel and everything but it doesn't show the reference like other replies.

public async sendRpMessage(options: WebhookMessageCreateOptions, channel: GuildTextBasedChannel, char: Character, msgToReply: Message = null) {
        let opts = {
            username: parseServerNickname(char),
            avatarURL: char.avatar_url,
            ...options
        };
        if (channel.isThread()) {
            opts = { threadId: channel.id, ...opts };
        }
        const rpHook = await this.findOrCreateRpHook(channel);
        if (rpHook) {
            if (msgToReply) {
                const payload = MessagePayload.create(rpHook, { reply: { messageReference: msgToReply.id }, ...opts });
                return rpHook.send(payload);
            }

            return rpHook.send(opts);
        } else {
            console.log('unable to find or create webhook for:' + channel.id);
        }
        return null;
    }

public async sendRpMessage(options: WebhookMessageCreateOptions, channel: GuildTextBasedChannel, char: Character, msgToReply: Message = null) {
        let opts = {
            username: parseServerNickname(char),
            avatarURL: char.avatar_url,
            ...options
        };
        if (channel.isThread()) {
            opts = { threadId: channel.id, ...opts };
        }
        const rpHook = await this.findOrCreateRpHook(channel);
        if (rpHook) {
            if (msgToReply) {
                const payload = MessagePayload.create(rpHook, { reply: { messageReference: msgToReply.id }, ...opts });
                return rpHook.send(payload);
            }

            return rpHook.send(opts);
        } else {
            console.log('unable to find or create webhook for:' + channel.id);
        }
        return null;
    }

webhooks can't reply to a message

d.js docs•3mo ago

:method: (static) MessagePayload.create() Creates a MessagePayload from user-level arguments. :interface: MessagePayloadOption A possible payload option. :interface: WebhookMessageCreateOptions Options that can be passed into send.

as you can see there's no option for replying within a WebhookMessageCreateOptions

It also accepts a MessagePayload so I thought it might be possible but I'll have to go back to copying the prior content and appending with markdown
