Support True @Mentions in Chat Message API (Tagged Users + Notifications)
Dawid Kotrys
The Chat Message API does not currently support true @mentions that populate the tagged_users array or trigger notifications.
Markdown like @Name is visual-only and doesn’t register as a real mention.
Requesting support for:
• tagged_users metadata population
• Notification triggering
• UI-consistent display (highlight + profile link)

We are having dozens of use cases, where we need this! Would e.g. be the killer argument to get rid of Slack.

We need this and the ability to include emoji in the message markdown.
