If you want the name of the users in the message to become links to their profile, use : @ in front of their FULL name with no space after the at symbol.

for John Smith, it would be @John Smith

Is that what you want ?

Update : It seems not possible using the graph api right now. Only manually.

See : Tagging people in a Facebook Post?

And : http://www.quora.com/Is-there-a-way-to-tag-a-Facebook-user-via-the-Facebook-Graph-API

Update 2: It is definitively not (yet) possible through facebook api's.
