Utilities for parsing metadata out of messages #1108

Open dsoprea opened 1 month ago

dsoprea commented 1 month ago

Are there any utilities provided that can parse any referenced IDs/names (e.g. <@U01V09UNAJZ|some_user>) out of a message rather than necessarily having to write our own? It's reasonable to think that the "Bolt" and/or "Client" projects would already need to do this somewhere and expose that functionality.

Thank you.

Hi @dsoprea, thanks for taking the time to write in! We don't have immediate plans to add this feature, but it could be a valuable addition in the future. We are unable to commit to anything regarding whether and when it will be available, but let's keep this open for now.
