Research direction

The issue only provides a LinkedIn share URL and describes manual mention selection; it names no repository file, test, or entry point. Start by verifying whether LinkedIn's share URL supports automatic person tagging, and consider the issue resolved only when the platform's supported behavior or limitation is documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We can create a post with a message prefilled from the URL using the below way

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/?shareActive=true&text=Hii%20Hii%20@lavanya

but when we mention a person in the text, it won't auto-detect, again we need to click on that and select the person from the given list of people.

Is there any way to auto-detect the person that we trying to tag
