| If this is implemented, bots need to at least have some way of controlling whether or not it's allowed. Ephemeral messages can be used to transmit sensitive data that should not be accessible to others, and I suspect there would be a fair amount of accidental "publishing" of messages. |

Similar to the existing "Dismiss" link, I would like to have a way for a user to make a ephemeral response get posted to the channel they issued the slash command in. My bot can look up information in a game for a given user, and sometimes they are doing this for themselves but sometimes they are showing off. I could certainly add a "public" boolean option, but it would be much nicer for them to see the response and then click to make it a channel message instead of an ephemeral message. Alternatively, let me put small link like buttons in the footer of ephemeral responses so I can do this myself I guess. A full on button takes up too much room.
