Feature request: @Downvoter sends a notification to all downvoters for your post

Is it possible to address the downvoter in a comment like @downvoter? As some people vote down and then refuse to give feedback, this could really come in handy, I think.
Is something like this possible?

P.S. tagged it as feature-request because if it isn't possible it is one.

    Next time you get downvoted, just imagine someone is saying: why didn't you search before asking? ;-)

  • @Arjan While funny, it doesn't apply as often to answers as to questions.

This is not possible. There may be more than one downvoter (in particular over the lifetime of the post) - which one would you be addressing? The last one? All of them?

People are under no obligation to explain why they downvote. Some do.

    The last one, I think. Can accept in 6 mins.
