Bot API - Option to filter or define subset of values for Mentionable's (Channels, Roles, Users.. etc)

Hi,

I have a usecase where I would like to give the user of my bot the ability to configure things by themselves, but I want to limit their options and prevent overloading them with huge amounts of noise/options.

For example, in most cases our servers are filled with bot's, when I ask the user to select a member option as part of an interaction I don't really want to give them the ability to select a bot member.

So I come asking whether it would be possible for you to improve the existing api to filter or define a subset of some these mentionable types in for example the CommandOptions and ComponentTypes.

I can think of two approaches to this. The first is probably my preference, and the most sensible and flexible approach.

render mentionables in the string select menu (as it currently doesn't, see below).
allow us to pass an option that will filter mentionable types (something like a regex).

Thanks,

Ryan
