No @Comments in list attachments
Documents attached to a list item under the "Attachments" section are edited by multiple users simultaneously. If comments are made in a word document there is not functionality to tag (@user) inside the word document. This functionality resumes if we are working on the document within a document library or other shared space.
Is there a way to enable the tagging of users within a document attached to a list item on SP? Is this a limitation of list attachments or a list setting?

- I have got the same problem. I decided to use MS Lists to manage a project which requires a lot of text editing. I have set up a list attached the Wordes and now I discover people can't leave comments with @ mentions. Not only does this put me in an akward situation as a project manager but it also makes the whole set up useless. I wish Microsoft would fix this - it's been almost six months since the original post here.
Gjaynes1992 Are you editing the list item attachment in browser online?
I just checked in our SharePoint tenant and I am able to add comments without any problem but cannot @mention other users in the comments.
I am not sure but maybe this is a limitation by Microsoft. You can raise a support ticket with Microsoft directly and report this behavior: Get M365 support - online support
