Dedicated chat channels for wikis (and maybe other topics)

I'd love to see the ability to have a chat channel associated with wiki posts, primarily for the reasons articulated in this other feature request:

https://meta.discourse.org/t/collapse-off-topic-replies/256257

The https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-livestream/341335 Plugin does this for events + video, and the recently dropped https://meta.discourse.org/t/event-chat-channels-now-available/367885 has added it to the Calendar & Events Plugin.

Would it be possible to take it one step further and make Channels able to be associated with any Topic in much the same way?

Wikis are an obvious use cases for this, as they can have quite rowdy and convoluted discussions about minor points that will soon be forgotten - this would suit a chat channel with threads beautifully.

I'm sure that there are other use cases where this might come in handy too.
