Handling Mentions

Text Note References

This document standardizes the treatment given by clients of inline mentions of other events and pubkeys inside the content of `text_note`s.
This document standardizes the treatment given by clients of inline references of other events and pubkeys inside the content of `text notes` (currently kinds 1 and 30023).
Clients that want to allow inline mentions they MUST show an autocomplete component or something analogous to that whenever the user starts typing a special key (for example, "@") or presses some button to include a mention etc -- or these clients can come up with other ways to unambiguously differentiate between mentions and normal text.
Clients that want to allow inline mentions of profiles MUST show an autocomplete component or something analogous to that whenever the user starts typing a special key (for example, "@") or presses some button to include a mention etc -- or these clients can come up with other ways to unambiguously differentiate between mentions and normal text.
Once a mention is identified, for example, the pubkey `27866e9d854c78ae625b867eefdfa9580434bc3e675be08d2acb526610d96fbe`, the client MUST replace its textual reference (inside `.content`) with the notation `nostr:nprofile1qqsw3dy8cpu...6x2argwghx6egsqstvg` as per NIP-21. If client doesn't support NIP-21, it can instead use a regular http link to a nostr client such as `https://snort.social/p/nprofile1qqsw3dy8cpu...6x2argwghx6egsqstvg`. The client MAY add that pubkey to the `.tags` with the tag `p` if it wishes to notify mentioned user.
The same process applies for mentioning event IDs, except that the client SHOULD NOT add the event id to the `.tags` with the tag `e` so to not negatively impact thread loading.
The same process applies for referencing event IDs, except that the client SHOULD NOT add the event id to the `.tags` with the tag `e` so to not negatively impact thread loading.
Because `e` tags on `text notes` are usually considered ancestor events used to build a conversarion thread (as per NIP-10), it is advised to use inline references when mentioning events and NOT adding corresponding `e` tag to the `.tags` event key.
A client that receives a `text_note` event with such `nostr:...` mentions in its `.content` CAN do any desired context augmentation (for example, linking to the pubkey or showing a preview of the mentioned event contents) it wants in the process.
