I've realised that a message that I made in a chat last week should have been a reply to another message. This now breaks the reply chain.
I've clicked on the edit button, but I see no option to change the message to being a reply.
I don't want to delete and repost the message, because it's a week old.
How can I remedy this in the desktop version of Discord?
It's not currently possible but it has been requested:
add reply to edit message – Discord
Be able to edit who you replied to. – Discord
Allow inline replies to be a added in when editing a message – Discord
Note that threaded discussions are a relatively recent addition to Discord:
Discord finally adds threaded messaging
