There was (long time ago) a long thread about idea of adding some
kind of 'weak' references (links), 'weakparent' that can be
automatically used by Git but do not pollute the commit message,
and do not affect reachability calculations.  Ultimately it went
nowhere (as you can see) - there were many problems.

For example: how it would work for reverts and rebases?

Perhaps some digging in the list archive before typing is in order.
This may be a good starting point.
