I guess the quickest way to implement that in an extension would be a component listening to DocumentCreatedEvent (and DocumentUpdatedEvent) so that whenever a document is created it look at the content (or the diff in case it's a modification and not a creation) of the document and xobjects (to support comments too for example) and when matching @<existinguserid> send a notification to the user. The UI part might be a bit trickier to do for an extension without conflicting with the WYSIWYG unless there is something for that in CKEditor itself, there should not be much conflict risk with the wiki editor but I'm really not the one to ask for guidelines to implement something like this :)
