[rt-users] Consulting back-office or other departments without notifying requestor

[Jim Brandt]

The simplest approach is probably to use Links. Under the Links section, 
you'll see a Create button that lets you easily create a linked ticket. 
You can have your internal conversation on the linked ticket and just 
reply back to the requestor when it's appropriate.
