I can't see that "the quantile each individual belongs to" is a
well-defined concept.
Clearly you can work out a percentile rank for each response, without
regard to the predictors. Or you can see where individual residuals
lie in the distribution of residuals.
But I don't think that either is what you are seeking.
I am not clear whether you are thinking of a point or an interval, but
that's secondary.
Stripping it down to a minimal example: We have a quantile regression
for weight versus height. I am a data point with a certain weight and
height. What quantile do I belong to? What's your definition?
