Twitter has recently implemented an automatic way of quoting tweets. It basically extracts an url from a tweet and shows it embedded within your tweet.
My problem is: how do I 'retweet with a comment' without showing the original tweet URL via API?
Retweeting from the website makes the RT look like this 
.
But when I'm manually prepending a tweet url to my tweet, it looks like this 
.
notice the literal url.

My understanding is that you are achieving the closest solution that Twitter API offers. This thread talks about doing the following:
- do a status update, with the 'status' field containing the text of the original tweet, followed by the link to the original tweet. The 'in_reply_to_status_id' field should not be set. This action does not result in the "retweet count" being increased.
do a retweet, which will increase the retweet count.

your tweet has a quoted_status, just put the tweet url as attachment_url args, e.g.
client.update('cool', attachment_url: 'https://twitter.com/emorima/status/1061581991798169600')
it's ruby code with twitter gem
