Can a “Markdown” button be used to trigger a slash command instead of just external URL. ?

Thinking of using this like a slack message button.

Hi @KeithTan, a Markdown button is not currently available - is it something you’d be interested in working on?

You can also [add a feature idea](http://www.mattermost.org/feature-ideas/) for others to upvote, so we can see how many other people are interested in the feature.
