Microsoft Teams: Improved copy and paste support for @mentions and shared contacts

Summary

Microsoft Teams preserves @mentions and shared contacts when you copy and paste messages in chats and channels. Instead of defaulting to plain text, Teams intelligently displays an @mention, shared contact, or plain text based on where the content is pasted, reducing manual rework.
