Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
If a text in a JSON payload from a generic webhook includes a string between two ':', for instance :flag-nl:, there currently is no way to show-off an emoji within the message.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Matrix-hookshot could convert any text between two ':' into emoji or perhaps via some transformation JavaScript function.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
