Not exactly: on iOS for example, you can turn on something called "focus 
mode", which will mute/hide all notifications. Apps can break through focus 
mode for individual notifications if needed.
For me, XEP-0224 is the exact right XEP to let the sender break through focus 
mode. Using it for mentions instead would mean I'd have to reinvent XEP-0224 
for the focus mode usecase. I'd rather like a new XEP for the various types of 
mentions rather than having to reinvent XEP-0224 to be able to implement the 
focus mode usecase.

Imho it is. TLDR; I'd like there to be a new XEP standardizing exactly this:
