@mention Integration with Contacts

It would be very useful if @mentions could auto-complete with existing Contacts and, if selected, maintain link to / pop-up selection of the contact’s various contact methods. This would (1) make @mention creation of a known contact easier, (2) ideally utilize a link label that is uniquely identifiable (e.g., to distinguish multiple contacts with the same first name) and (3) allow user to select which contact method (e.g., phone, email) they want to use when they are ready to take action.

For me, this integration would be most valuable after I’ve decided which of my Contacts I want to include in NotePlan. My Contacts db is waaaay too big to be cluttering up an @mention lookup. So far, Apple doesn’t include backlinks from Contacts that could compile content from other places/apps, so, for me, having contact info visible in a Noteplan object, PLUS the content I add there would be most valuable.

I was thinking something similar. Right now I have a "People" folder with a note for each person that I then link to. The title of each note is an @ mention of the person's first name. Then I slowly can build up a history of interactions and information about a person in relation to that note. But a lot of the information in that note is redundant of what's in Contacts, like phone numbers, emails, addresses, and I then have to manage it in two places. Plus, I can't use Siri obviously, based on a note in NotePlan. It'd be better if I could leave the contact's contact data in the record in Contacts, link the @mention to that record in Contacts and then simply use the @ mention to keep building up the relationships. What I'm doing is a bit too complicated for my tastes right now, but it does give me simple CRM.

As long as the mention with contact integration also works without contact integration, I think it would be a great option. :)
