Adding username to contact sharing

[SyRenity]

I need the username to be present in shared contact, and traced it up to structures.c:

 case CODE_message_media_contact:
    M->type = tgl_message_media_contact;
    M->phone = DS_STR_DUP (DS_MM->phone_number);
    M->first_name = DS_STR_DUP (DS_MM->first_name);
    M->last_name = DS_STR_DUP (DS_MM->last_name);
    M->user_id = DS_LVAL (DS_MM->user_id);
    break;

I can't find any relevant Telegram documentation, any idea if the username is present in shared contact, and how it can be added?

Nope, there is not yet an username field in telegram's TL API for message_media_contact objet.

@phoudoin So this not supported on the TL protocol level yet? The alternative seems to use user_info with received telegram ID.

I fear that the way to do until a new TL layer add a username field to message_media_contact, indeed.
