Slash commands should get some indication of Guild owner

[A5rocks]

Description

Slash commands should be able to know who is the guild owner. Whether this is a "Add Guild" interaction type (which isn't a great fit for slash commands imo), or a flag on a member when they are the guild owner.

Why This is Needed

Slash commands (especially games and the like) may find it valuable to give guild owners different treatment. For example, if I were to implement a basic D&D clone, I need a way to choose the game master: and choosing the guild owner is the most obvious choice.

Alternatives Considered

• Using admin permissions for this instead -- this is not a viable solution in my case because allowing anyone with admin to change / become the game master is way too chaotic.
• Testing that member.joined_at is the same (or similar enough) to the time portion of guild_id -- this feels like such a hack, but I might have to do it.

Why can't you make an API request for the owner of the guild?

Because slash commands don't require a bot account in the guild.

Good point. In my humble opinion, I don't think Slash commands should provide this functionality.

If lots of bots adopt this functionality, it will not be possible for server staff to delegate permissions to non-owners.

Your suggestion makes sense for smaller servers, but encourages a bad path for larger servers which may have: a "dummy account" that owns the server, and a "top admin" role for multiple pseudo-owners.
