Send mentioned roles that are not mentionable as mentioned

As a bot developer it is a pain to get roles from messages. I have some commands where I need to give a role as parameter. For roles that are mentionable you can just mention the role and there is no problem, but there is one for roles that are not mentionable. You could mention the role with "<@&1234567890>" and it is a valid role mention with the only difference, that it's not pinging the role members. But also it is no part of the mentioned role list of the message.

    Yee, being able to mention any role without pinging it would be really cool for making better bot interfaces. That and making voice channels mentionable too.

    Well discord.py with discord.Role accepts anything, role ID, role name, role mention

    Sure, but you can't easily mention roles as you have to know the format for it + you need to get the role ID which is only possible with the dev mode.
