Query items user was mentioned in
Use this predicate:
- Field: "ID"
- Operator: "In"
- Value: "@RecentMentions"
This automatically filters for work items, where current user has been mentioned.
I found it in predefined filter "Mentioned" in "Work Items" section. If you click on "Open in Queries" button, you will get a query with above filter. (This section can even remove the need for that query...)
Note: at present time, works only in VSTS.

This would achieve the same result.
