^ That's for fictionalized real-world events. Shout-Out may be the closest we have.

Agree that Shout-Out is the closest, but it seems to be more intertextual, i.e. it should be referring to another work, not a real world event. Take That! is another option if the reference is satirical towards something or someone topical.

I agree Shout-Out is the best choice.

Thanks.
