Extending Markdown syntax to add @[somelink](http://somelink.com)?

[skcin7]

How can I extend Markdown syntax so that the following code: @[Go to Microsoft](http://www.microsoft.com) converts to a link like this: Go to Microsoft.

This is the exact same as any ordinary Markdown link works, except it has an additional '@' character immediately preceding the first opening bracket.

The reason I want to do this is for an @mention system I'm working on.

I found the issue 24 but it's still not really explained how to do it there.

Feel free to just make a standard extension for php commonmark, then register it in your config. This is how alt-three/emoji works.

Feel free to check out that package as an example.
