Tagging @username in a question/answer/comment
Is it possible to tag users by their handle. E.g.
Oh hey @da5nsy do you have an answer for this question?
It doesn't look like it does, because names are not hyperlinked but then I saw @manassehkatz tag @ArtOfCode in this answer and now I have no idea...

You are only able to tag users that have interacted with the thread, and the author of the post itself. After typing @ plus the first 3 letters of the username, a popup should appear where you can select the user to mention.
It is worth noting that it will convert the mention to the user id when the user is selected, for example @#64176. It is possible to manually type @#<user id>, but it will not mention the user and instead will display it as red.
(Apologies to sau226 on the development server; they just so happen to have the id of 1 there)

It is not possible, nor intended to mention people in posts. See this Meta: Can I use @Username to notify users from within my question or answer?
