@Mention yourself is not available in Teams chat / channels (example: creating Loop tracking table, but can only @mention others and cannot assign items to myself)

All of the different integrations that M365 apps have around tasks / notifications based on @mention are great, however a big missing feature is the ability to @mention yourself.

For example, if I am in a meeting taking notes and creating an Action Item list using @<team member>, some of those tasks may be for myself and I want to make sure that everyone is aware who the owner is without just typing my name without the tag. Visually, it doesn't look right, but it also misses the opportunity to create tasks for myself in the flow of work and forces me to create that separately.

This affects other features, as well. For example, in Loop tables, at the bottom of the table it automatically sums up tasks assigned to each person with bubbles, so you would be missing those stats.
