Any plan to support creating a planner card from email/Outlook, similar to create a task functionality? Or at minimum have the mail tasks visible in Planner, similar to To Do?

The ability to interact with email is important to our organization. Even as we move our workflow towards Teams, email will remain the way we interact with users outside our organization. With that in mind, I have 2 questions:
1. As Jessica Perkins writes above, will we have the capability to email tasks to a planner board? Currently, the only way to do this is to send an email to a Teams Channel and create the tasks manually from the channel
2. Is it possible to receive email notifications off a task? And if so, is it possible to specify who receives these notifications (as in can you @mention specific users or only send a comment to everyone assigned to the task).
We are a "hybrid" organization in that we haven't fully transitioned to Microsoft 365, but the two factors above are pushing us towards licensing Trello. I'm hoping the new Planner can solve these natively, as the Teams-native functionality seems pretty great!
