How would i implement a '/repeat' last command?

Kinda simplified pseudocode example:

previous_message = None

@bot.middleware_handler(update_types=["message"])
def modify_message(bot_instance, message):
    global previous_message

    d = get_command_elements(message)
    if d["command"] != "repeat":
        previous_message = message
        
@bot.message_handler(commands=["repeat"])
def repeat(message):
    global previous_message

    bot.forward_message(
        previous_message.chat.id, message.chat.id, previous_message.message_id
    )

# run '/status' command 
@bot.message_handler(commands=["status"])
def status_info(message):
    global previous_message

    previous_message = message
    status = get_status()
    
    bot.send_message(message.chat.id, status)

/repeat works, I can just click the forwarded message and it repeats the command

I also have a command that can be run either as '/info' (as a reply to a message) or as '/info item' to query info for 'item'.

send "/info item" as message

OR: send "/info" as a reply to a message

@bot.message_handler(commands=["info"])
def info(message):
    global previous_message

    previous_message = message

    if 'item' in message.text:
        item = extract_item(message.text)
        result = run_query(item)
    elif message.json["reply_to_message"]["text"]:
        item = extract_item(message.json["reply_to_message"]["text"])
        result = run_query(item)
   
    bot.send_message(message.chat.id, result)

Does not work, as the forwarded 'command' only hotlinks "/info" not "/info item"
Same goes with the reply-type command...

For clarification: I want to run the same command on 'item' again, not save the previous result and return the saved result when running '/repeat'.
