An Reply privately button in context menu for messages sent to a group so you can reply and preserve the context of the original message by showing a preview of the replied message and a button to open the message in the group's context.
They require extra taps and are not easy for the average user:

Create a reply, tap the reply preview above the input field, select 'Reply in Another Chat', then choose where you'd like to send it.
Forward a message from a group > Find the user you want to reply in private > Send your reply with the attached fowarded message
In supergroups you can use Copy Message Link > Find the user you want to reply in private > Send your reply with the link to the message in the group.
You can hold Cmd/Alt and click on Reply button in message context menu as a shortcut to reply in another chat on Telegram Desktop app — https://desktop.telegram.org/
Replying "thanks" to a public answer to a public question does not only concern two individuals, it concerns the whole group. This is called "social behavior".
Sound like an anti-social "feature" to me. Maybe I'm missing something, so I hope someone can explain this better.
yep, that's exactly what we want, requires atleast 5 click, we want to reduce it to 1...
everything doesn't hv to be shared with everyone,
being anti-social feature is okay, Tg is a messaging app, that's what it's supposed to do... being private
Let me give you an example: If some people are planning a surprise for a person and somebody asks sth about that without noticing that it's about that surprise, then you can answer him or her personally in a 1:1 chat to make clear: "don't talk to much ;-)".
Therefore you could press and hold the original message and tap on "reply privately" to preview and link that message in the 1:1 chat. (My suggestion for solving this).
My initial comment was before the OP text was changed. Original text was proposing something crazy like 1:1 private chat INSIDE a group chat, like some kind of "replies" inside a group that would be hidden for all members but only visible to the person who is replied at... Something crazy like that, lol.
Being able to reply to someone's group-message in 1:1 chat would be a good feature, I agree.
