Reporting - Add "new update" to report - like Projects Widget

Hello - In the new "My Projects" Widget, there is a function to add a new update directly to the project, without opening it. Is it possible to do this in a report? I've added an open text box in the custom forms to add notes to the report while reviewing but this then only shows up as a System Update and not on the Comments wall. Has anyone been able to find a solution to add open notes to a report that will then show up in comments? Even more points if we can tag people! Thank you in advance.

In the widget vocabulary that particular column seems to be called Quick Actions but I don't see any way to add a Quick Actions column to a report

Is there any other way to add an update to a report?

Here's the text mode for a column that shows the last Update left in the project, when and by whom:
displayname=Last Update
linkedname=lastNote
namekey=view.relatedcolumn
namekeyargkey.0=lastNote
namekeyargkey.1=noteText
querysort=lastNote:noteText
textmode=true
useswidths=true
valueexpression=IF(LEN({lastNote}.{noteText})>140, CONCAT(SUBSTR({lastNote}.{noteText},0,139),"...(open for more) -- ", {lastNote}.{owner}.{name}," on ", {lastNote}.{entryDate}), IF(LEN({resolveProject}.{lastNote}.{noteText})>0,CONCAT({lastNote}.{noteText}," -- ", {lastNote}.{owner}.{name}," on ", {lastNote}.{entryDate})))
valuefield=lastNote:noteText
valueformat=HTML
width=250


This is really great! When I added it to my report- the Last Update column didn't match Last Note: Note Text left in the project. Is it possible to add it to the text below? I've screen shot the two columns so you can see they don't align. 

 

displayname=
linkedname=lastNote
namekey=view.relatedcolumn
namekeyargkey.0=lastNote
namekeyargkey.1=noteText
querysort=lastNote:noteText
textmode=true
valuefield=lastNote:noteText
valueformat=HTML
