Would it be possible to add a mention button under ponies names?
When you press it it goes like @ponyname and then it alerts that person and they know they have been mentioned.

I like this. But there isn't quite a notification system for anything other than replies to threads you've posted in. Don't know where it would tell you that you were mentioned.
I do like mentions, but one problem is that SMF allows usernames with spaces, and that would mess up the tagging. Tagging user "Derpy Hooves" as @Derpy Hooves would imply you're tagging "Derpy" and Hooves is simply part of the message.
As of now, there's no real mention modification except for one package that we would have to pay for.
I'll try to keep looking, though. ^-^
I've got it!
For the spaces, it'll work like BB Code, where you type things around it. Like:
@So and so@
We will investigate this matter, approved
@StarSong@Yellowpikmin476 @Perry The Pony Mentions have been added!

I can confirm they work. If the feature is abused then we will remove it.
