MVVM Binding on Message text and Option to append suggestions

This maybe two separate features but I think they both need to be done to achieve my use case.  If I need to submit two separate tickets let me know but I don't think either of these features by themselves would very beneficial.


Current functionality automatically converts suggestions to messages.  It would be nice if suggestions could optionally be appended to the active message text. 


Additionally, MVVM binding or a message changed event on the message text would be nice because you could display suggestions as the user is typing.  For example, displaying suggestions of user names if the '@' or '#' symbol is detected.


The use case in my mind is to be able to tag users from a suggested list and filter those suggestions down as the user types.  Then once they select a suggestion, insert it into the message body and allow them to continue typing.  Trying to duplicate something similar to Zoom/Slack/MS Teams tagging functionality.  I think there are other applications for this as well like suggested '#' support for example.


I love this control by the way, it does everything I needed it to with the exception of this tagging feature with very minimal effort.  Your documentation is as good as ever on it as well!


Thanks!
