Hi there, I actually was working on something with partially overlapping goals, that is a) being notified for relevant groupchat messages via push notifications. This is mostly relevant for iOS push notifications (at least as far as I understood during last summit). b) signal to recipient that a message is important to notify about (for example, when out of office, still notify for the really important things). This is a feature some of you may know from Slack.
I was first thinking to base this around mentions as well, but that would mostly work for a, not b (at least not how b is realized in Slack). I thus was to suggest a much more generic approach, that is to add a new element <notify jid="ha...@shakespeare.lit" /> to the message (completely independent of any use of mentions/references). Jid could be left out in direct chats, in MUCs can point to the real jid, member jid or room jid (equivalent to @channel mentioning), also there might be value in an optional priority="high" attribute to signal higher message priority. Your usecase of delivering messages to non-present MUC users seems to fit into this schema. Also, adding server-side meaning to something that is mostly formatting (mentions) seems a little bit weird to me. Another advantage of the <notify> element approach is that it also works for server-side processing in e2ee message (without leaking relevant message details) as long as the <notify> is not e2e encrypted (which it shouldn't be as it's also meant to be processed by servers).
