Microsoft Planner and @tag a member in the comments of a task
Microsoft Planner offers you a lot of features, which make your tasks an easy to manage routines.

It does not support it for now and you can confirm it by following the below link from Microsoft Support
What is the need for @tag in Microsoft Planner
In the present form of the Planner, all the assignees in the task, who comment in the comment section of a task will receive the mail notification.
But most of the assignees, would feel it as an avoidable interference if the notification is insignificant to them.
Similarly, the assignees who have not put any comment in the comment section have to revisit it for any notification.
Here comes the simple and perfect use of @tag. You can notify a particular assignee by using the @tag and it simplifies the work of all the concerned people.
And it will be more useful for an assignee who works in multiple tasks in a team. He / She could get the notification without having to open the planner tab each time.
