more generally, it could just support all markdown/formatting (including timestamps) |

Theres two ways that this feature can be implemented, either add a new property to the embed, something like
timestamp_style
OR allow parsing of the timestamp format in the footer text (https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#message-formatting-formats). Right now the timestamp defaults to the relative format which is great in itself, but for more details dates (like logs), this is lackluster.I currently have people set their timezone(or default to EST) for my bot's timestamp formats and format the dates myself, but the problem is that it doesn't support per-client timezones. Would love to take advantage of per-client timezones using discord's own timestamp formatting in the footer.
My current implementation:

I for one think that allowing parsing inside of the footer text would be best since it'll allow for more customization.
