Here is a first question to start things up:
Why can't we use @mentions in SharePoint document libraries comments as we can in Lists? We use it to keep the exchanges on a list item in the same place and to be sure that people are informed and I was surprised to find out the it is not possible in libraries. A library is basically a list with a required field that is the file. By the way, comments should behave the same way for all file types. Office or not.

Jun 14, 2023Hi Benoit, thank you both for your question and patience. The good news is the SharePoint document libraries are based on the Lists column platform, and the comments capabilities - including at-mentions - would appear once the common experience work is complete; of which, it is in transition to work toward a singular experience when working with files in OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint, or on list items in Lists. - Mark
