New Button Style: Message Command

[jagrosh]

This would be fairly straightforward: a button style that corresponds to MESSAGE-type Application Command.

This type of button would:

• be functionally identical to attempting to use the command via the context menu for the command
• visibly promote specific MESSAGE-type commands on specific messages
• be greyed out or invisible to those who can't use the command (following permissions v2)

The reasoning for this feature: Sometimes a bot knows that a user might want to use a certain command on a certain message, but the client doesn't make any differentiation. Many users don't even realize right-click message commands exist (while buttons are very visible). Buttons themselves also don't have any sort of permissions-checking, making them confusing when attempting to offer gated functionality.

Alternatives to this suggestion:

• Allow setting permissions for buttons. This has the advantage of custom permissions not tied to any command, but has the drawback of not being tied to a command that a server owner/admin would be able to manage via the integrations page.
• Allow bots to mark a message with a "hint" popup that shortcuts the message-command flow for that message. This would have the advantage of being possible to add on other users' messages (ex: a bot sees a message that contains foreign characters, and offers a "translate to X language" popup.

I agree. For the average Joe clicking buttons is easier (and it is for me too on a phone for example) than typing commands.
It would be nice to have buttons that are just wrappers around commands, potentially with requesting input from the user (by using a modal maybe?).
Thanks!

Reposting this from #5190, I did a mock up of what this might look like for a Slash Command. A similar thing could probably be done for message commands.

And how it might look in the code, using a new "Command" button style":

{
    type: 2, // "Button" Component Type
    style: 6, // "Command" Button Style (requires fields 'command_id' and 'command_name'),
    label: 'Add to List',
    command_id: '472091337469007488',
    command_name: 'list add',
}
