Allow @ mentioning to reference users by display name instead of user id or add a setting to choose.

When working in enterprise environments, it is not efficient to write comments and constantly have to click the "Insert User Link" button to reference a specific user.
When LDAP User IDs are cryptic, and not likely to ever be memorized, it seems more intuitive to be able to mention a user by their display name or initials (such as @ Christopher Robinson.

    The EWM Ideas review board has evaluated this request. This request, while valid, is unlikely to be addressed in the next 18-24 months due to other higher priority items on the Backlog. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may be reassessed or reopened for additional discussion in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.
