Load choices not getting triggered programmatically

[AlissonTS]

I would like to know how to trigger search event with load choices method programmatically inside component after a user clicks a button called 'Mention'.

I've tried to add a reference to ngx-mentions component and trigger the event emitter called search when the user clicks the button and calls openOptions method, but the array with the options doesn't get showed.

I used @ViewChild('ngxMentions') ngxMentionsRef!: NgxMentionsComponent;

I'd like to allow the user either to type @ following a name, or click the 'Mention' button and then type the respective name with the options presented.
