Most #ActivityPub implementations include Mention objects in the tag attribute when someone mentions another actor within the content of a Note or Article. Should actor objects like Person or Group also include Mention objects in their tag attribute when mentioning other actors within their bio (summary)? Are there any implementations that already work this way? (I've checked Mastodon and it seems they don't include these mentions.) What are your thoughts on this?

大部分의 #ActivityPub 具顯들이 Note나 Article의 內容 (content) 안에서 누군가 다른 액터를 멘션할 境遇 tag 屬性으로 該當하는 Mention 客體들을 包含시킵니다. 그러면 Person, Group 等 액터 客體들도 略歷 (summary) 안에서 누군가 다른 액터를 멘션할 境遇 tag 屬性으로 該當하는 Mention 客體들을 包含해야 할까요? 或是 이미 그렇게 動作하는 具顯이 있을까요? (Mastodon은 確認해 본 結果 包含시키지 않는 것 같습니다만.) 어떻게 보시나요?
@hongminhee@hollo.social maybe look at #Friendica and #Hubzilla ?
@hongminhee yes. I can't think of a reason to have different behaviour for certain properties (like tag) based on the type of ActivityPub object.
@hongminhee Oh, Mastodon doesn't add a Mention object for profile summary mentions? I wonder if that's even intentional, since it does add hashtag references there.
I think it would make sense to have them. On the receiving side, it helps enrich link context and provides information on which links can be made server-local. (Mastodon's behavior on this is weird. Unlike mentions in posts, mentions in bios have unchanged URLs, but clicking them in the web UI loads them server-locally anyway.)
