AytacBey - Search or Action Messaging Extensions allow you to extend the compose message area in Teams and provide users with a list of suggestions or actions based on the user's input. In your case, you can use this capability to display a dropdown menu of available questions that partially or fully match the words entered by the user.

I wish I would see this post before my workaround solution. Workaround solution is gathering questions in groups (IT, HR, etc.) and putting these groups as actions to the manifest.json file. By this way respective commands will appear in a dropdown manner. Later the command will be bound to adaptive cards which contains questions that belongs to respective group/command.
