It is not possible to merge ideas (or other topics) at the moment. I'll covert your question to idea, so users could vote for it.
By the way, we discussed this feature before and a few questions rose regarding how it should work when you merge two community topics:

Thanks Edward.
My thoughts
Sure. You can also just add a reply to it saying "duplicate" and add a link to the original post.
If we do that, i.e. post the reply saying "duplicate". Can we close or lock the idea? I don´t like to mark it as rejected.
There is no option to lock or close a post at the moment. by the way, how would you like it to work (if we add it)? Should it prevent future votes, comments, replies? Anything else?
Totally agree. I believe when a topic is merged to another topic, the former has to be locked. Together with the things we discussed before with Vincent, this should be an ideal way to marge to duplicate topics. What do you think?
Would love to see this feature included in the product! We tend to have Users who post multiples of the same thing and with up to 200+ people participating in a community it would be hard to manage deleting duplicates and copying the comments over into the original.
This is absolutely essential. I thought this was already possible. This is really bad news. Please do this as soon as possible!!!
You can do this however you want, but one way is to select a topic, Topic 1, and click a button to merge it into another topic, Topic 2. Here's how this could work:
