Buttons, text fields, dropdowns, and other form elements in embeds

Slack provides functionality that gives integrations the ability to add buttons, text fields, and other HTML form elements within embeds. This is very useful for software product teams using Discord as a sort of "ChatOps" integration and can provide a lot of power in many workflows.

Unimportant context:

My specific use case for Discord is to communicate with my team and stay notified of important CI/CD events through web hooks (GitLab issue resolution/comments, merge request updates, pipeline results, etc). One example of where this feature might be useful: a pipeline build begins. I should be able to do something like restart the build, stop the build, view the pipeline, and eventually view the artifact when deployed.

Even having buttons rather than links would be a nice feature, but that would purely be cosmetic!

Pretty large feature request, I know, but it would keep me using Discord over Slack.

This has been implemented by Discord and shouldn't be long now before it is implemented in client SDKs.

I've noted no input fields have been added, but with the way Discord works, it could very well be worked around in a friendly way that is as good/preferable to using input fields.

Thanks, team!
