A dropdown would be nice, but it's not a strict prerequisite for using
ActionText Attachments in the stored text. Whichever raw text parsing we're
doing at display time (e.g. regexps) could instead be done on preview/save,
creating the attachment refs in the database. More complex UI can come later
but at least we'd be moving to a more solid data foundation than we have now.

I know that ActionText is becoming more plugable with its front ends, for
example 37Signals has an alternative to Trixie ([called
Lexxy](https://github.com/basecamp/lexxy/)) under development. I haven't looked
into the details to see if we're better off moving towards one of these or
making our own thing which just does the individual features that we need.

I would expect any references stored server-side to be rendered appropriately,
whether shown either as html on the site or as api text. For example, the site
might include a hover-card (like when you hover over a name here on github) but
the API would probably just have the attachment rendered to an html link around
the username.
