How do you link a post between two different forums in the "Subject" as opposed to linking the two in the "Body"?

I suspect the short answer is that you don't.
The html coding for formatting only seems to be available in the body, not the subject line. That's probably a good thing.
Can you imagine all the other oddities that would crop up if you could bold, color, italicize, etc the subject line?
The main list of posts would become extremely difficult to browse through if there was significant formatting to them.

Why would you even want to do this?

Why not? Why have to update the same topic posted in different OGR Forums, when you can update only one? It has been done many times before. Click on a thread, with an arrow beside it, here and it takes you to the same thread on one of the other OGR Forums. So, how do you do it?

Good idea, but I believe that ONLY the Webmaster is able to do that.
Why would you be posting duplicate topics in multiple forums? I think that's frowned upon here anyway.
Like HW says, the forum owners can probably do it...
I can make shortcuts for threads so they appear in multiple forums. I think that's what you are talking about.
This is an admin function and members cannot do this.

Duh!
Because not everyone reads every forum. Something might be posted to one forum and be missed by someone who doesn't read that forum. As in the case of a model announcement such as the GGD Powhatan Arrow passenger cars.
Thank you Rich, that was the answer I was looking for.
gunrunnerjohn & others,
The following, posted by another forumite, on the 2 Rail Forum is exactly why I posed the question to begin with:
