It will be great if BoockStack allows mentioning users/books/chapters within text inside the chapter with @ syntax.
For users:
Sometimes we are writing some topics where other people experience is used / other users can share more information / you want to point to someone.
For chapters/books:
Sometimes you want to point to some other book or chapter and have its name being inserted. Now you need to add a link and chose book/chapter through some additional 'window'.
I feel like it will be really handy if you can simply type @ and some pop-up menu will appear where you can choose anything which matches your input text like it made here.

This would be very nice. @ssddanbrown is this feature planned?
@Konstantin-Davidneko commented on GitHub (Jun 28, 2023):
I think it should be splited in two separate issues: User mention is not commanly needed feature. But Page/Chapter/Book mention is really important — currently after renaming I need to find each place with link this Page/.../.... and change text. It takes a lot of time.
This feature should be easely implemented, by using same system which is currently used for inserting parts of pages in other pages.
@ssddanbrown what is your opinion on this topic?
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Jun 28, 2023):
The original request desires book/chapter mention for easy insertion into pages.
Just to advise, this can be alternatively achieved in the WYSIWYG editor via Ctrl+Shift+K / Cmd+Shift+K, which will show a selector for easy link insertion.
@Shultc
Since BookStack v22.09, on a correctly configured system, BookStack will track internal references and auto-update links in content upon change.
If you updated from a version before this, you should use the “Regenerate References” maintenance action to build the reference index.
@Konstantin-Davidneko commented on GitHub (Jun 29, 2023):
But it is not about link to the page. It is about page title in the link....

User mentions would be really nice to have in comments.

I support the "@" mentioning feature.
There are a lot of cases with collaborative scenarios where this really improves teamwork.
@balta1980 commented on GitHub (Jan 28, 2026):
Oh yes please, It is a great feature to use @ to mention an user. Just like in comments but in the WYSIWYG editor.
In case you are explaining a business process you can define responsibilities on any user.
Thank you.
