Is there a way to get multi stage Suggestions in Editor? eg. type "#main" (st1) >> #main:sub (st2)

[hgoona]

I'm trying to do something like this in the Editor with Mentions/Suggestions:

1. typing "#"
   triggers suggestions "main1" | "main2" | ... etc

2. selection of "main2"
   inserts "#main2:" into the text area; <<< Stage1 selection

3. continue typing "sub", eg "#main2:sub" ,
   triggers suggestions "sub1" | "sub2" | ... etc

4. selection of "sub5"
   inserts "#main2:sub5" into the text area; <<< Stage2 selection

How to achieve this with Tiptap (v2)?

As already answered on Discord - not by default. You could make this out of two separate suggestions. First one triggers on # and the second one will trigger on : with an additional check for an existing mention prior to the :.

I never build something like this but I think that would be the correct way to do it for at least separate mentions.

Your requirements probably will need a lot more custom logic to make this work in one mention.

Were you able to achieve this "nested" behavior using the Suggestion plugin?

I'm trying something similar, but failing miserably. The menus start to stack, since they share a common trigger character.

Sandbox showing what I got so far.

I tried setting the same pluginKey as an attempt that only the 'most recent one' would show up, but it doesn't work. Feeling really stuck on this one and I would appreciate any suggestions.
