### Problem Description

For videos with multiple authors (aka. collaborators) such as https://youtu.be/YRmrjNGWM2Q, the channel will show as "Main author and *N* more" or "Main author and Secondary author" in the "Up Next" section, however, the "Main author" & "Secondary author" parts of the text won't be links like it is for other videos.

### Proposed Solution

There's two ways I can imagine this being solved:

1. The "Main author" & "Secondary author" parts of the channel text should still be links to those channel, with the "and *N* more" being left as normal text.
2. Clicking, or hovering over, the channel text should present a list of all involved channels which can then be clicked, ensuring all collaborators' channels can be navigated to.

Either solution could work; I don't have much of an opinion on which is more feasible or has better UX.

### Alternatives Considered

Perhaps all the channels and their channel links could be shown under a video, instead of displaying "and *N* more"? Could be a UX nightmare though if a video has like a dozen collaborators.
