Allow deferred message followups to ping.

Deferred messages don't ping on follow up

I've been toying around with interactions and am really starting to like them.

I got to this one issue though where when I have to defer a message (for a file upload or something in the backend to process before responding) I would like to ping a user specified by the author.

Currently the docs say:

The allowed_mentions field of the edit request controls how this happens. If there is no explicit allowed_mentions in the edit request, the content will be parsed with default allowances, that is, without regard to whether or not an allowed_mentions was present in the request that originally created the message

Which contradicts how the api actually handles the request.

I do believe it should ping if you send a follow up as it the message itself once followed up does not actually show as "editted" it shows as a normal message.

The workaround I would have to do for this would be sending another message afterwards with the ping and the file and using an ephemeral to show it as "action completed"... which honestly life a lot more difficult than it has to be but it'll work. I was just wondering if this is intentional or if it's something that could be tweaked to allow deferred followups to mention users on execution

Please give us a way to ping people through followups!

Can't you just mention them?

Sadly no it does not allow that, I try to change the allow mention stuff as well nothing seems to work.
