Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

At the moment, to be able to mention people needs a test session as well as a document.

When being in an embedded environment however, for instance in a Deck board or in a Tables call, we have neither of them.

Autocompletion and notification may depend on the scope of the embedded environment (e.g. shared state) so a callback possibility seems to be necessary.

Research direction

Start by tracing how mentions are currently provided to a test session and document, then compare the embedded Deck board and Tables call entry points. Done means an embedded caller can provide scope-aware behavior for mention autocomplete and notifications without requiring either a test session or a document.
