Description

Are there any utilities provided that can parse any referenced IDs/names (e.g. <@U01V09UNAJZ|some_user>) out of a message rather than necessarily having to write our own? It's reasonable to think that the "Bolt" and/or "Client" projects would already need to do this somewhere and expose that functionality.

Thank you.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by searching the Bolt and Client projects for utilities that parse referenced IDs and names from messages such as <@U01V09UNAJZ|some_user>. Done means identifying an existing exposed utility or turning the missing behavior into a concrete, scoped change.
