Can you add request participants using the description box?

[Al Gresto]

While submitting a service desk request, can I add a request participant by mentioning them in the description box using the "@" symbol?

For example, here is my request:

Access Request

Summary: I need login access.

Description: I spoke with @Al, he confirmed I need access to this system.

Is there a way to configure Jira Service Desk so Al is automatically be added as a request participant?
