This is a great idea actually.

But it should not be limited to comments only but extended to question/answers too:

Sometimes, when answering or expanding the question, I want to give credit to someone for a partial answer or saying:

As @Oscar Reyes said, you could delete the filesystem using AJAX if etc. etc....

If is not technically feasible to grab someones name ( due to names may be duplicated ) Then as suggestion using:

 <http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/20654/oscar-reyes>

Could be parsed into:

@Oscar Reyes

By the system, because using @[#20654] is a bit awkward.

To use the bracket style user will have to:

1. Click on user link
2. Grab the mouse and select exactly only the user number ( and selecting in the address bar is not always the easiest thing in the world )
3. Ctrl+C the user number ( or memorizing it )
4. Type @[Ctrl+V]

While using the former would simplify the process

1. Click on user link
2. Ctrl+C the whole URL ( easier than select just a part )
3. Type<Ctrl+V> ( less wrist force )

While it may sound ridiculous this tiny bits of functionality makes life easier.

_{p.s. I delete my previous question because it was a dup of this indeed}
