In this case, this is not something that clients will automatically do. If
the user has written a response to a Gemini page, and they notice the page
mentions a link to submit your response, they can go in and fill that
form. The script checks if the link actually exists in order to prevent
spam to some degree.
This is similar to a manual webmention [1][2].

For what is worth, I've worked and implemented a similar idea that I
think still stay aligned with Gemini idea:
gemini://gmi.bacardi55.io/gemlog/2022/02/27/my-take-on-gemlog-replies/
It isn't popular at all and most responses I got where negative but
the concept works (and is in place on my capsule) 🤷.
Cheers,
