Tagging in Private Conversations

In summary, tagging in PM's allows for quick linking to a member's profile. It also allows for inviting up to 3 members to a conversation. However, tagging does not generate alerts if a member is tagged in a conversation they cannot access. Additionally, the code to display links runs overall, so tagging in conversations without the tagged member will not generate alerts.

What is the use of tagging in PM's?
Because a hyperlink comes but I wonder does a message goes to him/her or not?

I think the code to display the links runs overall, in conversations without you it cannot generate alerts. It also does not generate alerts if you get tagged in a forum you cannot access.
I tagged you in a conversation (not including you) to test this.

So I think use of tagging in conversation is that we can invite upto 3 members, so when to refer to someone from invitees we can use it?
