Merge in TFS 2012 and reuse comments and work items?

Question

I want to merge a single changeset from a feature branch into the MAIN line. How can I easily reuse the text of the original checkin's comment and re-associate the original linked work items? Currently, I've to copy the text manually and look up the work item ID(s) by hand to use them for the merge checkin.

Are there any tools or option to influence this process?
