Developer Suggestion

Question

As a contracting officer in the United States Air Force I tend to do several repetitive tasks over Teams to communicate with mission partners, contractors, etc. One of these tasks is tagging members of the acquisition team with new construction submittals. We receive potentially hundreds of these submittals every day and am requesting an update that although may seem insignificant would vastly streamline my workload. When copy and pasting essential verbiage in discussion channels, Teams prompts me to select the person which I am attempting to tag every single time. This would be fine if there wasn't upwards of 10 people I have to select from. If the verbiage has the direct contract information of who I am attempting to tag I believe it should automatically choose them. When the verbiage is pasted, whom ever was tagged becomes text instead of a direct tag. All I ask is that this suggestion is considered and if a better description is needed of my issue, I will be happy to explain further.

Your use case makes a lot of sense, and I really appreciate you outlining it in detail, it helps highlight how even small improvements could make a meaningful difference in day-to-day productivity.
