Ignore chat pings found in links
If it's easy to fix, this probably makes sense. But there might exist too many different ways to break chat pings in this way. Suspending people abusing this is likely easier than fixing every corner ...

Please repeat a ping at most once when a message is edited
I think this is behavior carried over from the rest of the site. Most of the SE network is static, or relatively so. It is designed to be read days, even years after it was written as well as seconds. ...

Ping Notification for a user with less than 20 reputation?
Should we allow pinging users who can't talk in chat?
It is kind of pointless, specially if the user you pinged isn't going to reach the chat threshold anywhere soon. But as users can join the ...

Once you join a chat room, you can be pinged as long as you are in the room. It only gets complicated when you leave the room:

What is the maximum number of pings a message in chat can contain before people are not notified?

Simple @mentions do not notify, but direct replies to messages do
Fixed now, sorry about that. The fix for this issue involved treating the chat message as HTML before processing @mentions. This resulted in mentions of your display name being encoded as @El'...

Does a direct reply to a message in chat create a notification, no matter what age the message is?
Yes. Direct reply to a chat message always creates a "ping" to the user who wrote that message, and uncleared ping will become an inbox notification within 15 minutes.
The age of the message does not ...

Is it possible to get the rooms in which the user is pingable?
This is not going to give you all rooms in which a user is pingable, but a good start for finding a room to ping someone in could probably be the user's recent activity page: /users/id?tab=recent, for ...

Can we get a way to enable chat notifications from a room where we have not been active in the last 7 days?
