Lack of interest Ability To Tag User Via Alias/Nickname

[The Grand Potentate]

Did a few different searches and couldn't come up with anything on this so I figured I'd ask - would it be possible to add in the ability to tag a user via an alias or a nickname? Some field we could program into the user details in the ACP. When the user would tag that person via the alias/nickname it would function the same way a standard tag would. For instance, we have a member named Betelgeuse. Literally nobody types all that out, so its just Betel. Someone asks me if we could tag @betel and that brought me here.

I'm fairly sure this has been suggested previously.

I'll see if I can find the thread.

Maybe you can ask/request @xfrocks to consider this again in this thread

I could have swore I read about it before but I couldn't find a thread in my searches.

It has but he shot it down. Not to mention that I'd like to see it in the core.
