The techniques you're thinking of are for documents sent by email or some such. You add innocuous whitespace or typos that are unique to each one, and send them individually. If one leaks, you can match it to the employee who received it. That doesn't work for screenshots of Slack.
Well you could make it work, for example some random pattern in chat backgrounds that trace back to whoever is the user. That would still show up in a screenshot.
Slack or the OS would need to support it directly, and I don't think either of those have it.
True, but that's why the original comment seemed surprised, that a service like Slack doesn't have this given how many corporations use it.
