**Description**

We need a way to Get `mentions` from a chat message.

**Describe the solution you’d like**

Add `at_items` property to the message returned by `/chat/users/{userId}/messages/{messageId}`.

**Describe alternatives you’ve considered**

Add `at_items` property to the event body of `chat_message.*` events.

**Additional context**

When we send message to a chat using API `/chat/users/{userId}/messages` we can add mentions using `at_items` property.

But when we get message by `/chat/users/{userId}/messages/{messageId}` or catch a `chat_message.sent` event using webhook we can’t get an array of mentions.
